Immortal in Death

Today’s post is on Immortal in Death by J.D. Robb. It is 345 pages long and is published by Berkley. It is the third in her …In Death series so you need to have read the first two to understand the story. The cover is copper with the middle having different scenes from the book on it. The intended reader is someone who has read the first two, likes light science fiction, and dark mysteries. There is foul language, sex, and violence in this book. The story is told from third person close of the main character Eve. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- She was one of the most sought-after women in the world. A top model who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted -- even another woman's man. And now she was dead, the victim of a brutal murder. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas put her professional life on the line to take the case when suspicion fell on her best friend, the other woman in the fatal love triangle. Beneath the facade of glamour, Eve found that the world of high fashion thrived on an all-consuming passion for youth and fame. One that led from the runway to the dark underworld of New York City where drugs could fulfill any desire -- for a price . . .

Review- This novel picks up very closely to the end of the second one with Eve and Roarke going to get married. Eve is still very nervous about how serious Roarke is about their relationship and everything about her. It is making her remember things that she does not want to. So when Eve’s best friend is in trouble, Eve is glad to have something else to think about. The mystery is good with lots of twists and Eve’s passion to stop a murderer is compelling but when you add in character development, you get a very interesting read. Eve remembers much about her childhood and it is a hard part to read but the catharsis for Eve and the reader is very good. I know that Robb sold this originally as a trilogy so I am a little concerned about where the series can go from here and if it can continue to be as good as the first three but I will discover that soon enough.

I give this novel a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
