I thought the character development in this novel was wonderful, making Eve and company jump of the page moreso than ever before. It was the murder investigation side that lacked in this entry. Bringing Mavis in as a potential killer was just too silly, followed by the nearly interchangeable actor/producer characters, topped off by two catty feuding models.
This was still a good fluff read, just not up with the previous two entries in the series.

Great read
rating: 5
Have become a huge fan of the "death" books as they always have danger associated with a super mystery, plus some humor to ease the tension.

Another masterpiece from Robb
rating: 5
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.

Great!
rating: 5
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.

They just keep getting better!
rating: 5
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!
