Celebrity in Death by J.D. Robb- ISBN-13: 9780399158308
- Publisher: Penguin Group (USA) Incorporated
- Publication date: 2/21/2012
- Pages: 400
Synopsis:
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.
Teaser Page 50
“Individually and as a group, they’re upset, nervous. Connie’s managed to hold on to her role as hostess. Roundtree has her, and everyone else, half convinced Harris has just passed out like Julian. The producer and publicist huddled together awhile. He wasn’t happy – well, several weren’t - when McNab confiscated all ‘links. But no one caused any trouble. Matthew and Marlo were the most shaken, but as they found her, that’s to be expected.”
That’s my teaser from this week. I am excited to find out what is going to happened. So glad to get some Roarke in my life again! What teaser do you have for me this week?

OOOHHHH! I so can’t wait to read this!!
My teaser is from Sister of the Bride by Susan Mallery. Stop by & check it out!
Looking forward to this one. Why don’t I have it yet???
I’ve always enjoyed J. D. Robb / Nora Roberts. This one sounds like a winner.
Here’s my teaser: Sandy’s Teaser

I have never read this series and frankly I’m probably going to always steer clear of it. The series is just so long that I would never catch up!
I’m glad you enjoy it though
Interesting teaser!
Okay I don’t know this one. Looks good.
Here’s my Teaser Tuesday

I read a lot of Nora Roberts, but haven’t read any of her In Death novels yet. Interesting teaser! Here is my TT.
I used to love all the J D Robb books–they were fast moving, had humor and lots of in-depth characters that interacted well with each other. Eve was edgy and passionate, and it was wonderful seeing her and Roarke develop their relationship over the years. She also had wonderful and complex stories that kept you turning the pages well into the wee hours of the morning.
This story, like too many of the recent JD Robb books (except for Treachery in Death), slow down with too many conversations between Eve and Roarke that I’ve heard many times before in so many of her other books, and with what I consider “filler” as these conversations about her child abuse just go on and on with the same conversations, and nothing fresh. It seems that more and more of these same conversations are added, and it really takes away from the books. It almost seems like she is turning these books into a rehash of her other books, which I don’t read anymore, instead of continuing with the fresh and exciting plots from the JD Robb books. If this continues, I will have to give up on this author, as so few of the recent JD Robb books have held my attention and are what I consider “keepers”, to be added to my bookshelf and read over and over again.
Not fast-paced, not a constant thrill ride, yet nevertheless a satisfying addition to the Eve and Roarke story that showcases a softer side of both characters.
Have a nice day,
Sara
