5.0 out of 5 stars Immortal in Death - an excellent continuing series, October 14, 2000

This review is from: Immortal in Death (In Death, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars JD Robb offers an immortal look at life, at death!, May 3, 2000

This review is from: Immortal in Death (In Death, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

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.
