What is the author's style in Witness in Death by Nora Roberts?

The novel is written in modern language, allowing the reader to easily follow the thoughts and ideas that are expressed by the characters within. The novel is set in the year 2059, and there are many technological advances that are considered part of everyday life. Though these things do not exist in current times, the novel is written in such a way that the reader is able to discover what is capable in the future by the context. An example would be the AutoChef, a device that allows someone to prepare a meal simply by programming the device. A fully cooked meal is delivered moments later, prepared to the character's specifications.
