ReviewsThe third, and arguably best, book in Robb's futuristic In Death series here receives its first unabridged audio treatment (the abridged version was offered in 2001 by Brilliance), and the result is a brisk listen that captures all the suspense of this murder mystery. Ericksen gives tough cop Eve Dallas a hard, no-nonsense tone and nails her fianc? Roarke's Irish lilt beautifully. She also deftly portrays Eve's softer side, which comes out when she's forced to arrest her friend Mavis for the murder of a supermodel named Pandora. Eve knows Mavis couldn't have killed Pandora, even though she stood in the way of Mavis and her boyfriend, fashion designer Leonardo. But the evidence-Mavis is found at the scene of the crime, sporting scratch marks from Pandora-seems unequivocal. In the course of Eve's investigation, listeners meet a number of intriguing characters, including a designer with a map tattooed onto his skull, a grumpy horticulturist and a slinky, lifelike drone (i.e., android). Although Ericksen's portrayal of some of these personas can be exaggerated, on the whole, she does an excellent job conveying the primary characters and matching the pace of this taut yarn. Based on the Berkley paperback. (Nov.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas can't help getting involved when her best friend, caught in a love triangle, is accused of killing her rival. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information. If ever there was a book for all tastes, this is the one. ("Afffaire de Coeur") |

Mavis - Dallas' best friend and the murder suspect in this book - is one of the best things about this series. An ongoing secondary character, she is spunky, unique and at times hilariously funny. Convinced that Mavis had nothing to do with the death of top model Pandora, though the circumstances of her death were highly incriminating, Dallas digs her way through multiple layers to get at the truth. Another cool thing about this series is the character development you see through time - for example, in this book, you see the marriage between Dallas and Roarke take place, after a few pre-wedding jitters and hitches, continuing on a thread that has been developing since book 1.

Immortal in Death is a great book. Whilst murder cop Eve Dallas is getting prepared for her marriage to billionaire ex-criminal Roarke, her best friend Mavis is caught up in the world of fashion, drugs, and murder. Bringing into play the stalwart cop Peabody this series will have you hanging out for more. The "In Death" stories are absolutely brilliant.
