Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A top model is dead--and the suspect is none other than Eve Dallas's best friend.

Have become a huge fan of the "death" books as they always have danger associated with a super mystery, plus some humour to ease the tension.
Rated by buyers -
Eve Dallas is, on the whole, a misanthrope, and appears to get on better with the dead than the living, but she's nothing if not fiercely loyal to her friends. When her best friend Mavis falls under suspicion for murder, Dallas brings all of her considerable skill to bear on the investigation to find the real killer and clear her friend.
Robb is enormously skilled at characterization and we have the extremely unlikeable Pandora portrayed so beautifully that our dislike spikes as soon as we meet her and no one is sorry she's killed. Juxtaposed with such an unlikeable character, Mavis, with all her sweet wackiness, gets us all on her side right off, even without our knowing she's Dallas' best friend.
With her usual talent, Dallas doggedly works through the usual maze of facts, clues, and evidence, and finally tracks down the killer.

There's nothing to say except that Nora does it again! She's is by far one of the best writers of our time. Each of her IN DEATH books are well written, the stories and mystery are totally awesome.
Rated by buyers -
This is my third Eve Dallas "In Death" read, and also the third in the series.
So far this is the best one yet. Each book they get better.
You can tell J.D Robb, aka Nora Roberts is really getting familiar with the characters, and the great writing proves it.
It is really fun to read the books in this series. Its like a television show, you can drop in and visit your friends. Luckily for us the readers, Nora Roberts keeps cranking them out.
As long as she writes them, I will read them.
Happy Reading!

Eve and her rich fiance Roarke are about to get married, but that doesn't mean all is puppies and rainbows. Mavis, Eve's best friend, talks Eve into using Mavis's new fashion maven boyfriend as her wedding dress designer, but dear Leonardo turns out to be the start of Eve's latest case. Or rather, his ex-lover (a famous model) is, when she turns up dead in Leonardo's flat after an argument, and Mavis is found unconscious near the body, her fingerprints on the murder weapon.
Once again Eve finds herself trying to walk a fine line between her duty as a cop and her loyalty to the people she cares about. She sets off into a world of models and actors, business and crime, drugs and beauty. At stake is nothing less than immortality---or rather, Immortality, a new drug that promises youth, beauty, energy, power.
While Eve and Roarke's relationship still sizzles, there's a bit more attention paid this time to the difficulties of trying to deal with something as big as marriage when two such headstrong loners are involved. Eve's childhood memories also rear up to smack her full-out this time, and the reader isn't spared any details. The things that happened to her as a child were horrific, and not everyone will feel comfortable reading about them, even though they're handled in a non-prurient and non-sensationalistic manner.
This mystery kept me guessing much longer than the previous one, which I very much enjoyed. There was plenty of misdirection and guilt to go around, confounding the guessing game beautifully. I love Roberts's heady mix of futurism, mystery, romance, mild erotica, and sharp personalities.
