I've always liked the J.D. Robbs since they've got the futuristic angle going, just far enough into the future that there's a tang of science fiction about the setting as well as police procedural. Eve and Roarke have managed to be a dynamic couple for something on the order of.... 26 books, I think it is. The evolution of their relationship through the series is one of its strongest points.

Don't get me wrong... the series is fairly formulaic. But it's a decent enough formula. In addition to Eve and Roarke, there's a cast of fun supporting characters, and occasionally one of the books will bump up the bar a bit and make things really interesting. There was one a few books back involving clones, and that? That was some actual SF&F, which was a surprising thing to find in this series despite its futuristic trappings.
