CELEBRITY IN DEATH

JD Robb never ceases to rack up the tension when it comes to her Eve Dallas series and after New York to Dallas one wondered if she would manage to continue the momentum.  Needless to say fans of the series will not be disappointed.

In Celebrity in Death a film is being made from journalist Nadine Furst’s bestselling book based on her most famous case.  Eve finds herself attending a celebrity packed party to celebrate the movie. Unfortunately murder intervenes when one of the actor’s is found dead before the end of the festivities. Whilst the actor concerned was not well liked it is up to Eve to track down the killer.  As Eve interviews all the potential suspects she soon finds herself with an additional murder on her hands, an expensive movie to contend with along with a premeditated killer who will stop at nothing.

Celebrity in Death is a riveting read. JD Robb manages to pack in a wallop into nearly every single page and she will no doubt please her legion of fans who felt that she would not be able to reach the same heights after the brilliant New York to Dallas.  Celebrity in Death is also much more than a futuristic police procedural.  There is great characterisation and a sense of place and the way in which the changing lives of the characters are interwoven into the series makes you constantly come back for more.  It is not surprising that JD Robb so many fans with this series and continues to garner more.  Celebrity in Death is compelling, compulsive and utterly impossible to put down.  Having to wait for the next one is always a drag but certainly well worth it.
