Immortal in Death

Summary: Immortal in Death - an excellent continuing series
Review: In the latest in the series, "Immortal in Death," we find Eve shopping for a wedding dress to wear to marry the hunk Roarke. If you've read any of the other books in this series, you'll understand why it is so unusual for this tough city cop to be dress shopping.

A supermodel is murdered and Eve's best friend, Mavis, becomes the prime suspect. Also suspect is Mavis's boyfriend, Leonardo, who just happens to be the designer of Dallas's wedding dress. While investigating the murder and digging up the dirt on the fashion world, Dallas discovers that the model (and most of the suspects) are either consuming or dealing a new and illegal youth serum.

It's hard to guess the murderer is in this book, the entire mystery is well written by Robb who keeps the reader guessing.

Mavis's character is brought out in more depth, and Peabody's character is broadened as well making her Eve's aide. Roarke and Eve's relationship shows more depth in this book then in the previous books and we learn more about Roarke's background.

Read the entire series of these "in Death" books, start with Naked in Death the first of the series. They are all excellent.

Summary: another excellent book
Review: In this book, Lieutenant Eve Dallas investigates the brutal murder of a model. Eve's best friend, Mavis, is a suspect. As if that weren't bad enough, Eve also has to work on her wedding plans and her increasingly clearer memories of what her father did to her as a child.

Although this is not my favorite book in the series, I still enjoy it and have read it several times. I would suggest reading the first two books in the series before reading this one, simply because Eve and Roarke's relationship is developed over time and skipping those books also skips that development. Also, because I know that these books are located in the mystery section of bookstores, I'll also add that the relationships between characters in these books are as important, if not more so, than the mystery elements. I myself enjoyed the mystery in this book, but I know there are some people who feel it's too predictable. It wasn't too predictable for me, but the reason I reread this book is not for the mystery, but for Eve's relationships with her friends and with Roarke. I definitely recommend this book and this series.

Summary: They just keep getting better!
Review: In this segment Eve is investigating the murder of a top fashion model. Mavis, Eve's very best friend becomes the main suspect. Leonardo, whom Mavis is in love with is also a suspect and is designing Eve's wedding dress for her soon to be wedding to Roarke. Eve does everything in her power to find the real killer and get Mavis off the hook. Eve knows her friend couldn't possibly do this, in spite the evidence. After Eve and Roarke have Mavis staying at their house, more murders happen which do seem connected. Eve finds a new drug seems to be connected. The people murdered were either consuming this drug or dealing it. This new drug is fatal but it makes you young and sexy and eaten up by the wealthy and powerful especially in this fashion world. Peabody is back in this book and is becoming Eve's aide in the homicide world. You learn more of Eve and Roark's past. These books just keep getting better. What an excellent series!!!

Summary: A great new drug?????
Review: J. D.Robb has an entertaining suspense series with Lt. Eve Dallas, a hard hitting (literally), hard working cop who never lets go. In Immortal in Death, Eve's best friend is suspected of killing her new lover who happens to be the designer that will fashing Eve's wedding dress. Pandora, a supermodel, a totally unlikable character has been brutally killed and leads point everywhere but most directly to Mavis. There is a new youth drug involved that has a fatal flaw; it kills. It also is likely to make a lot of money for the people who hold the formula, and they are beginning to die violent deaths as the story opens. The actual culprit is fairly predictable, but the suspense is good getting there. It's a good read. p.s. Eve does marry Roarke so will Eve continue to be as tough and focused or will Summerset eventually give her some polish. Probably not; you will have to read on.

Summary: Great!
Review: J.D. Robb's Eve Dallas mystery/romance/scifi novels are wonderful, and IMMORTAL IN DEATH is one of the best. A much hated model is murdered. Eve's best friend, the absolutely ditzy but loyal Mavis, is a suspect since she fell in love with the hot designer, Leonardo, who had also been the vapid, vicious model's boyfriend. Roarke, Eve's dashing, mysterious almost-husband, gets involved. Peabody, the stalwart, hopelessly romantic cop, makes a strong appearance in this novel. All the trademark sex, zingy dialogue, and good mystery elements are in evidence. Eve solves the crime, but nearly loses her life. J.D. Robb's a bloody genius with these books.

Summary: A different twist on one of the most interesting Authors
Review: J.D. Robb, a.k.a. Nora Roberts, is on of the most interesting authors of this age. Having read many of her books, I have found most of her books move quickly, have substance to them, and appeal to more than the "romance" world which she emerged from. I can see why she would use a psydo-name for this series of books because they are such a change in the basic settings. As always, she has a lot of interesting details that pull you into the story and creates that desire to keep reading. Also read "Montana Sky" and her "Born in..." series. You will quickly see why she is so successful on so many realms.

Summary: JD Robb offers an immortal look at life, at death!
Review: Let me put it this way...when my order from amazon.com arrived, I tore into the box to get to my J.D. Robb books! I could not wait to hear more of the story on Eve, Roarke and the other zany characters that Robb cooked up for us.

In Immortal in Death, Robb offers us an in depth look at the value of beauty...and how far some will go to attain their looks. When Lietenant Eve Dallas investigates into the murder of a top fashion model, she finds herself walking a very fine line between justice and crime as she prepares to defend one of her closest friends. Eve must go by the book in order to protect and defend Mavis, her zany musician turned best friend in Immortal in Death. Can their friendship stand the heat? Can Eve find the evidence she needs to free Mavis? Or will the ultimate set up become the ultimate betrayal as Eve heads into the high priced world of wealth, power and...immortality.

If you have not read any of the J.D. Robb series, I seriously recommend starting with the first one, Naked in Death. However, Robb gives the reader enough background information in each book, that picking up any one in the series would still grab your attention, keep you on the edge of your seat and racing to the finish line.

Email me with questions on any of the RObb books! [e-mail]

Summary: Good, but could have been better
Review: Liked the first two books in this series better than this third, but it is still a recommended read. My problem with this book was that the ending just kind of dropped off. Would have like a few more pages of happiness, maybe some details on the wedding, (what did Mavis wear???). Despite the sub-par rating of 4 out of 5, I still have trouble putting the books down. Roberts does a good job teasing us with the romance which is probably why after three books about the same couple, I'm still interested in their lives.

Basically, you either like this series or you don't. If you like it, you need to read each of the books in order to get the full appeal. Though this wasn't my favorite of the three I read, it was enjoyable.
