Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Lieutenant Eve Dallas may live in 2059, but she's still a recognizable Manhattan police officer: mouthy, courageous, skeptical and impatient. In Roberts's latest In Death novel (after Purity in Death), she's charged with finding a killer who murders young people full of innocence and promise, photographs them after death, then taunts both a top reporter and Dallas herself with notes about his handiwork. Just as her investigation of Manhattan's clubs and colleges nears its peak, Eve's husband, the wealthy entrepreneur Roarke, discovers that his mother is not the cold abandoner he remembers, but a tender young Irishwoman whom his father brutally murdered. While he struggles to understand his heritage, the couple must navigate stormy marital waters. Though the mystery's denouement doesn't live up to its promise, the book ably delivers on other fronts. Intensely female yet unfeminine in any traditional sense, Dallas has a complex edge that transcends genre stereotypes and gives the book's romantic interludes a real charge. As always in Roberts's work, appealing secondary characters add genuine warmth and humor. And while this futuristic vision of New York may not be totally accurate (it's unlikely, for example, that Dallas's oft-used "bite me" will still be in vogue 50 years from now), it's perfectly calibrated to intrigue.

From AudioFile

Susan Ericksen depicts Lieutenant Eve Dallas with stern, businesslike tones as Eve tracks a serial killer who murders women, poses and photographs them, and then send the pictures to the newspapers. Lieutenant Dallas is portrayed as sassy and skeptical except in the arms of her new husband, Roark, where she becomes intensely female. Ericksen handles multiple accents--East Coast, Hungarian, and Scottish--with accomplished ease as Lieutenant Dallas interrogates suspects. Her portrayal of Spence, the caustic nurse-companion to crusty Somerset, a secondary character, is superb. The story is sometimes difficult to follow, but Erickson's rendering of it is outstanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply great, May 24 2005
By Pius (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Portrait In Death (Mass Market Paperback)
Portrait in Death is a great book and a sure satisfaction for a fan of the Eve Dallas series. The characters have been further developed and there is more information on Roarke's past. What is particularly noticeable is that the minor characters made the story awesome as much about as the major characters. The plot is rich and keeps the reader in suspense until the ideal moment. The pace of the novel is fast, and the book is enriched by the humorous nature of the story. This is a highly recommended read along with the other stories in the series.

Also recommended: THE USURPER AND OTHER, REUNION IN DEATH, DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE

5.0 out of 5 stars J.D Robb's Fans will enjoy spending more time "In Death", Nov 17 2003

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Portrait In Death (Mass Market Paperback)
"Portait in Death" is the lastest offering by J.D. Robb and this is one of her better books. Unlike of book in this series, Ms. Robb spending most of her time focusing on Eve and Roarke. It was really great to see more of Roarke's background. It gave readers a better understanding of his character and its also allow the character to develop. I'm sorry that I waited so long to read "Portait in Death" because it is great!

4.0 out of 5 stars Eve Dallas fans will enjoy this book, Sep 10 2003
By Alice (Connecticut, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Portrait In Death (Mass Market Paperback)
If you're a fan of the Eve Dallas series, you'll really enjoy this book. If you haven't kept up with the series, however, you will probably notice gaps in the story. The murder mystery was fascinating as always. And a surprise from Roarke's past and the path he took because of it were both interesting and moving. Very well written.

3.0 out of 5 stars not quite a masterpiece
It's a good premise, and to have Roarke be the focus was a good twist. And yet there's no fast-paced action, no 'you deserve to get lcked away'. Read more
