Celebrity In Death/J.D. Robb/389 pgs.

When I first started reading J.D. Robb's (a.k.a. Nora Roberts) series, it was in paperback. Once the series went to hardback, its popularity has really risen. To do the series justice, I really think the reader should start at the beginning--that way one sees how Eve and Roarke's characters evolve.  Lieutenant Eve Dallas is a homicide cop in a futuristic New York City.  A case that Eve solved awhile back had been made into a book, which was then being turned into a movie. At a party given in Eve's honor, the actress portraying Eve's partner, Peabody, is murdered. The murder victim, K.T. Harris, is strongly disliked by the other cast  members. As the case progresses, it becomes evident that more than one person has reason to want her dead. It's a fast read, and gives further understanding into Eve's character, and her relationship with her husband, Roarke. Very enjoyable!
