    Celebrity in Death

    Written by J. D. Robb

    Narrated by Susan Ericksen

    4.5/5

    About this audiobook

    Her career in homicide has taken her into the darkest depths of New York City’s underground—and sometimes Lieutenant Eve Dallas feels more comfortable in those kinds of places than in the high-rise, high-society world of her billionaire husband, Roarke.

    But while she’s no party girl, she’s managing to have a reasonably good time at the celebrity-packed bash celebrating the debut of The Icove Agenda. This time it’s Eve, not Roarke, who’s a guest of honor, since the film is based on one of her famous cases. Her partner, Peabody, is practically giddy over rubbing shoulders with Hollywood royalty. Eve, on the other hand, is more likely to roll her eyes than have stars in them. But she has to admit it’s a little spooky seeing the actress playing her, who looks almost like her long-lost twin.

    Not as unsettling, though, as seeing K. T. Harris, the actress who plays Peabody—drowned in the lap pool on the roof of the director’s luxury building. Talented but rude, and widely disliked, K.T. had made an embarrassing scene during dinner. She clearly liked being the center of attention. Now she’s at the center of a crime scene—and Eve is more than ready to get out of her high heels and strap on her holster, to step into the role she was born to play: cop.

      Well this was a big surprise in the end leaning that the big movie producer has been killing for many years people who he see as been in way. Including staging the killings in a way that looks like suicide. But he did not count on Lieutenant Eve Dallas will dip into each person's life and find out the skeleton inside the closet.

      This time she came up with all years of killing and the lies of how Jose Steinburger has been killing for years and getting away with it. This time he was has to pay for the lives he has taken.
    • 4/5
      34th book in the series, one could doubt that a book so far in the series can still be good. But it really is.

      Nadine's book about the Icove case is adapted into a movie. During the party with all the people involved in the production and all our well-known cops, K.T. Harris who is playing Peabody is found dead in the swimming pool. Quickly occurs that she was a blackmailer hated by everyone (including Eve), so the list of suspects is quite long.

      I really enjoyed the whole idea of Eve investigating a murder case of the actress playing Peabody. It was also fascinating because of the evil nature of K.T. I would probably prefer a bit more of interaction between Eve and Roarke, but the plot was so grabbing that I had no time to grumble.

      I hope the next one in this series is as good as this one.
    • 3/5
      For those who enjoy the murder mystery element of the 'In Death' series - they will like this book better than some of the previous ones (I've read the entire series). But for me, I really enjoy how J.D. Robb mixes in character development of the main players, as much as the mystery - and in this case, it was a bit disappointing. As always, Susan Ericksen did an amazing job narrating the story - she brings it to life!
    • 5/5
      Great book as always! I could not figure out the killer at all!
    • 4/5
      Well, I tried to make this one last as long as possible. Good thing I had work to distract me and keep me from reading this straight through. The fun part of this book was watching Eve interact with Hollywood celebrities.

      I'm really becoming interested in Morris, and hope he features larger in future books. I think Eve has a real soft spot for him.
    • 5/5
      The book was a best seller and now Nadine's book is being made into a movie. The stars are gathered, a party is in order but murder decides to attend. This one will keep you guessing until the very last page. I hope Nora Roberts is busy writing as I type this - Gotta have more.
    • 3/5
      another sold read from JD Robb. I got hooked on this series years ago and quiet like to drop in on it occasionally. This one was not the best (in my opinion) but still enjoyable. My main issue with it is the repetition of the main characters and dialogue.
    • 5/5
      This was really good. I love the "in death series".
    • 3/5
      I seem to be in the minority on my opinion of this book. I'm a huge fan of Nora Roberts and the In Death series. Huge. But I felt this installment was lacking. There was no action at all and little emotion. Maybe I'm just getting bored with the series, but I was disappointed. I judge a book by how easy it is to put it down and it took me 3 days to read it when normally I get through an In Death in less than a day.
    • 3/5
      This book once again focuses back on the Icove book now there is a film being made on what happened with that case. There is a murder on set and the story is centered around this murder and no other side issues. This is once again a good read that leaves you wanting to read the next book to see what happens in the lives of not only Eve and Rourke but everyone else in the series.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this installment. My favorite books are the ones were Eve and Roarke are at odds, and though that wasn't the case here I found the case interesting and the usual cast of characters engaging. There was quite a bit of humor laced throughout. The whodunit was pretty easy to figure out but I enjoy watching Eve puzzle her way through the evidence.

    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this one, being back in New York, but still dealing a bit with the fallout from Dallas. I did feel that the tension was missing in this one. I never felt any real emotion at all, towards the victim, towards the killer, not even any tension or stress between Eve and Roarke. I mean, it's nice they're good, but I missed that extra element. No one was even at any personal risk this time, everything just felt like it was tied up so easily. I guess I missed the blood and the danger this time around.

      I'd give this one more of a 3-3.5, but bumped it to 4 because it's Eve and Roarke, it was a good story, and it still kept me engaged to the end.
    • 5/5
      Love Eve, Roarke and all the rest! There were a lot more quiet moments between Eve and Roarke, it was great. I love them together.
    • 4/5
      I liked this one, interesting twists and turns to the who-dunnit and how they did it and the shock felt by several of the characters to the death of someone who looked like one of their own came across quite well.The Icove murder is being filmed and the people involved are interested in getting Dallas involved in the publicity, it's hard enought o see yourself almost mirrored but to see your partner murdered is unnerving, particularly as the actress isn't really liked. As Eve chases the clues she finds more bodies and the clues say things are even more complicated than things look.Most of this series is going back to people I enjoy reading about and having an entertaining time doing it. I like the characters and I like how they've developed over the series. I also like that they actually feel consequences for previous incidents. This is one of my favourite series to read and I hope it continues for a long while, as well as some day becoming a TV series
    • 4/5
      A fun installment in the In Death series. Nora Roberts probably has an in-depth perspective on the movie-making process because some of her books have been made into novels. It comes across in this book as Dallas's case is being made into a movie and that is where her new case is set.
    • 4/5
      I love the Eve Dallas books. For some unknown reason it took me a while to get into this one. Perhaps because of the setting-I'm not into celebrity things.However once into this book I loved it.
    • 4/5
      By the time you're into #34 in a series, you're going to feel quite at home with the characters and the setting. I thought 2060-something New York felt less futuristic in this book than in previous ones, but maybe I'm just getting used to being there. I want an Auto Chef! I love Eve, and Peabody, and Roarke, and Feeney.... and everyone else here. The murder mystery wasn't as intense and fast-paced as some of the previous in the series, but still enjoyable. An added bonus is just how funny Eve and the others are...love 'em and looking forward to the next.
    • 4/5
      I enjoy the "In Death" series. Lt. Eve Dallas is a favorite character of mine. I like reading about strong women and Eve is definitely that!
    • 3/5
      I have been a die hard J.D. Robb fan for a long time. Have most of the death series in hardback. I was able to get this one very quickly at the library, and was thrilled. Same great cast of characters, but really no interaction. We have brief peeks at Mavis and Leonardo, even Sommerset didn't appear much. it mostly revolves around Dallas, and Peabody. The two murdered people actually seemed like they deserved it! Just not my favorite. I will certainly look carefully at the next "Death" offering.
    • 4/5
      A movie is being made about the Icove case, and Dallas and Peabody are invited to a party with the major cast and crew members. But the party is marred by murder.The usual.
