In this latest installment Eve and Peabody get to visit the production site for the movie being made from Nadine's book on the Icove investigation. While Eve is very typically Eve and sees the visit as more drudgery than exciting Peabody is thrilled to be on set, and even looks forward to being an extra when invited to do so.
However, unfortunately someone has other plans, and soon Eve, Peabody and the gang are investigating the murder of not only K.T. Harris, one of the stars of the video, but of a private investigator hired by K.T.
CELEBRITY IN DEATH begins to show a new somewhat gentler side of Eve. She doesn't come off quite as detached from her friends as she has in previous titles, and I believe this is a subtle yet significant change in her. Don't get me wrong...she's still the Eve we have all come to know and love, but there is a change in her, and I think we'll have to wait for future books to see exactly what that change is.
CELEBRITY IN DEATH is a very enjoyable read with several lines that I thought quite memorable and would make me smile when thinking back on the story, and discussing it with friends. I'm not a re-reader, but if I were then I would consider re-reading CELEBRITY IN DEATH because I'm sure there are subtle changes amongst all the characters and their interaction with each other that I missed this time, but would hopefully pick up in a second or even third read.
So get comfy, clear your schedule, and be prepared to enjoy the latest and in my opinion one of the best of the In Death books, CELEBRITY IN DEATH.
Book Summary
Lieutenant Eve Dallas is no party girl, but she's managing to have a reasonably good time at the celebrity-packed bash celebrating The Icove Agenda, a film based on one of her famous cases. It's a little spooky seeing the actress playing her, who looks almost like her long-lost twin. Not as unsettling, though, as seeing the actress who plays Peabody drowned in the lap pool on the roof of the director's luxury building.
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 and step into the role she was born to play: cop.
