Conspiracy in Death/J D Robb/372pp

I am always amazed that Nora Roberts/JD Robb can write as much as she can as fast as she can.  I have heard many people say that  she must have a ghost writer.  While that may or may not be true  I did meet her once at a conference and she was constantly typing on her laptop.  Even when she was moderating a session, she was typing away....AND keeping up with the conversation of the session to boot.  So, I have no trouble believing she is actually writing all those books herself.

Conspiracy in Death is the 9th in the "In Death" series.  While Roberts/Robb does get somewhat predictable, her writing is always a fun read.  As they say..."A bad Nora Roberts is still better than most other author's best."  This particular title touches on the morality of artificial vs personal cellular growth transplants and the possibility of extending life into immortality and who should be allowed these transplants.  A conspiracy in the highest rankings of the Medical and Political circles decide to play God and think they do not have to play by societies rules.  However, NYPD Homicide Lieutenant Eve Dallas gets in the way and discovers the truth even after they take her badge away.
