A review by sraazad
Immortal in Death by J.D. Robb
5.0
Eve's personal and professional life clash once again as another New Yorker is murdered, this time a powerful model, and the prime suspect is not Roarke (this time, at least) but Mavis, Eve's best (?) friend. But this time Eve knows the prime suspect is innocent. The hard part is proving it with all the damning evidence.
Once again Roberts brings reader's back into her future world of crime, where love, lust, and greed continue to rear their heads within basic human nature. In this novel we see more of Eve's and Roarke's dark pasts, we get a more sinister look into the drugs of the future (called Illegals), and we see Eve's sharp mind once again tango with both crime and her love for Roarke and her friends. We also get to see a frankly hilarious-at-times dynamic between Eve and her new tag-along Peabody.
Also, it always fun to guess which of the initially introduced characters end of being the criminal. Because despite what some might say about crime, I believe Roberts indeed demonstrates that murder tends to be closer to home than people expect it.
I guess the only mildly disappointing thing about this novel was the fact that
