Celebrity in Death by J.D. Robb
4.0

This is another great example of JD Robb at her best. The In Death series is really not something that you can pick up with this book but with twenty plus books already published, there’s a lot in paperback you can pick up while working your way to the newest release. Plus, the background of this story is the plot from Origin in Death so you really should read that one first at least.

After the successful true crime book release of the story from Origin in Death, Hollywood has come to New York ready to turn it in to a movie complete with look a-likes for Eve, Roarke, Peabody, and the whole team. At a dinner with the main cast, film producers, and Eve’s team when one of the cast comes up dead, Eve is ready and on the case. Eve has to wade through the seedy underbelly of the cast and crew to try and deduct who could have wanted the actress killed (which could be anyone since no one liked her) and who had the means.

This was a really great story with a lot of the elements I love in an Eve Dallas novel. She was her same sassy, sarcastic self. Roarke was sexy, powerful, and supportive. And Eve’s team offered the same great insight and humor they provide to every story. There was even a little bit of character growth which I love. Since we’ve been living with these characters for over twenty books, any time we can step away from the crime and step in to their lives makes me so happy. This is a must read for JD Robb fans. Not my favorite but is a definite re-read for me.
