Description

In this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series, Lieutenant Eve Dallas must solve the murder of an actress whose final role was to die for... 

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 as though she could be 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.

Talented but rude and widely disliked, K.T. Harris made an embarrassing scene during dinner. 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 to step into the role she was born to play: cop.

    First there’s a twist, then there’s more deaths than she first expected, then Dallas has to prove what she already knows. Not always an easy task.

    As always I enjoyed reading a nag this book by J D Robb. She’s an unbeliever writer when it comes to developing charters, both good, bad or characters to be used developing the plot.
  • Dull in Comparison

    I've listened to every book in the series and Celebrity in Death is bland compared to the books before it. I was greatly disappointed by the plot of this book. It wasn't particularly poorly written but lacked some of the development. The only interesting part was the real character/celebrity relations. Though it introduces a ton of extra characters pretty much off the bat, which was a bit brain numbing. It was simple. Bland in comparison to the others because it lacks the intensity some of the older books have, but this book standing alone is decent.

    I have enjoyed all.of Nora Roberts, J.D.Robb books. All the characters come to life for me. Eve and Rourke are the ideal couple.
  • Excellent

    Nora Roberts has done an excellent job of telling a story of murder and deception. The novel is a quick read containing suspense, intrigue, and a delightful amount of humorous dialogue. Enjoy!
  • Loved it!!!!

    for J D? this is a different writer. after about 200 books you can spot a fake. too bad. but after 200 books, understandable.

    What a great read! I enjoy books that bring me back to earlier books in the series and this definitely does. I also like the development of Eves relationships with Peabody and Nadine.
  • Finally!

    I pre-ordered this book months ago and was thrilled to finally see it on my reading shelf... Along with fun, gory story lines that are characteristic of the series (and the wonderful thrill a witch thrown in once and awhile for good measure), the "In Death" series has it all! J.D. Robb's brilliant and witty spin in this book is delightful not only because it gets to poke fun at itself because of the self-referentiality but it also provides a unique glimpse into the inner workings of the media in all it's glory. The character development of Eve Dallas never fails to fascinate. Eve is a self made woman who fulfills her heroic potential by having the courage to face her traumatic childhood to love and trust again. Robb has created wonderful complex characters that we grow to care about along with Eve and never fails to surprise. I'm in for the long haul... Keep them coming!
