What could be better during the upcoming cold winter than
curling up with a warm blanket, a favorite beverage, maybe a
cuddly pet, and a good book? What if that book was part of
a long running popular series? That would be
perfect...right? Well, the good news is that you can curl
up with CELEBRITY IN DEATH by J.D. Robb.
In this latest installment Eve and Peabody get to visit the
production site for the movie being made from Nadine's book
on the Icove investigation. While Eve is very typically Eve
and sees the visit as more drudgery than exciting Peabody is
thrilled to be on set, and even looks forward to being an
extra when invited to do so.
However, unfortunately someone has other plans, and soon
Eve, Peabody and the gang are investigating the murder of
not only K.T. Harris, one of the stars of the video, but of
a private investigator hired by K.T.
CELEBRITY IN DEATH begins to show a new somewhat gentler
side of Eve. She doesn't come off quite as detached from
her friends as she has in previous titles, and I believe
this is a subtle yet significant change in her. Don't get
me wrong...she's still the Eve we have all come to know and
love, but there is a change in her, and I think we'll have
to wait for future books to see exactly what that change is.
CELEBRITY IN DEATH is a very enjoyable read with several
lines that I thought quite memorable and would make me smile
when thinking back on the story, and discussing it with
friends. I'm not a re-reader, but if I were then I would
consider re-reading CELEBRITY IN DEATH because I'm sure
there are subtle changes amongst all the characters and
their interaction with each other that I missed this time,
but would hopefully pick up in a second or even third read.
So get comfy, clear your schedule, and be prepared to enjoy
the latest and in my opinion one of the best of the In Death
books, CELEBRITY IN DEATH.
Lieutenant Eve Dallas is no party girl, but she's managing
to have a reasonably good time at the celebrity-packed bash
celebrating The Icove Agenda, a film based on one of her
famous cases. It's a little spooky seeing the actress
playing her, who looks almost like her long-lost twin. Not
as unsettling, though, as seeing the actress who plays
Peabody drowned in the lap pool on the roof of the
director's luxury building.
Now she's at the center of a
crime scene-and Eve is more than ready to get out of her
high heels and strap on her holster and step into the role
she was born to play: cop.
