Publisher Description
'We've got a corpse that looks like one of the investigators, a houseful of Hollywood and a media machine that's going to eat it like gooey chocolate.'
Lieutenant Eve Dallas is panicking - and she's not at a crime scene. Forced to attend a celeb-packed party for a new movie based on her most famous case, she is surrounded by actors who look like everyone in her life. Then brutal reality crashes through the sparkly facade.
There's been a murder.
The obnoxious actress playing Eve's partner, Peabody, has been found face down in the rooftop pool. It's hard to find anyone who didn't have a motive for killing her, but Eve must fight to keep a clear head and stop a calculated killer.
'Robb gives us another great thriller' Linda Fairstein
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Murder, sex, and blackmail all figure in bestseller Robb's smart, well-crafted 35th Eve Dallas novel set in mid-21st-century New York City (after 2011's Dallas to New York). Lt. Eve Dallas feels a little uneasy attending a party at Hollywood mogul Mason Roundtree's Park Avenue townhouse to celebrate The Icove Agenda, the movie adaptation of a high-profile murder case solved by Eve and her police cohorts. Eve has even more cause for concern after 28-year-old actress K.T. Harris, who makes a drunken scene at dinner, later turns up dead in the lap pool on the townhouse roof. Could K.T. have fallen into the pool by accident? Or was it foul play? K.T. had plenty of enemies, including Marlo Durn, who plays Eve in the film and could pass for Eve's sister: "I hated her. She was a sick, bitter bully." Eve's wealthy and charming husband, Rourke, lends support while Eve and Detective Peabody pursue yet another gripping case.
Customer Reviews
Celebrity in death by. JD Robb aka Nora roberts.
A really good book as all Nora roberts books are,very
Compelling couldn’t put it down till the finish.
This is book 34 I think . I started at no 1 about six months ago & can’t wait to read the next one.
She is very talented lady.JS.
Disappointing
I have loved 97% of the 33 books I’ve read in this series. This one wasn’t awful but it was more Agatha Christie than Robb in my opinion. Fairly unlikely and a bit weak. That’s not to say AC books are like that, but it had none of the edge I’m used to!
Celebrity in Death
Absolutely fantastic. As usual Eve and her crew deliver sparking wit, stunning backdrop and bundles of intrigue. Couldn't put it down. A++++
