Reading in Snippets..

Book Info: Immortal in Death by J.D. Robb. First published by Berkley in July of 1996

Since school started and I have no extra time I picked up book 3 in the In Death series in an effort to slow my brain down before slipping off to sleep. This book therefore took me all week to read.

Here we see Eve and Roarke trying to prepare for their upcoming nuptials..... though Eve is thrown into yet another messy case. This time it involves her best friend Mavis and the world'd biggest name in modeling. Juggling cases and relationships has never been Eve's strong suit yet here we see her yet again doing her best to save not only her friends but her city.

Officer Peabody is here and readers begin to catch glimpses of her sly sense of humor and amazing dedication to her goal of becoming a homicide detective.  I think my favorite part is the wedding bouquet.... yet again we see that Roarke truly understands not only what Eve wants, but who she is.

The cop side of things in this novel have readers all over the place. Scenes jump from flop houses of drug dealers to the runway of high fashion. Theories lead to dead ends, and are recycled to find truth. While Eve yet again saves the day, we also see that, though worlds apart in the present, Eve and Roarke are perfectly suited in temperament: Neither can give up without all of the answers. :)
