I love powerful Lt. Eve Dallas and how the complex New York City crimes are solved. If you don't wanna bite her husband, don't read these books! Nora Robert's best writing is as JD Robb in this "In Death" series of some 30+ stories to date. I collect all of the JD Robb books, but skip the Roberts, whose stories are not as tight as those about Lt. Eve Dallas - ass kicker! If the future of New York City is like this, I fear these futuristic killers who are sneaky and complex.

If it weren't for the average mystery of this novel, Portrait in Death would have received a 5/5. I loved how I got to learn more about Roarke. I really empathized with everything he was going through. The personal relationships are great as well. This is one of the few series that I care about what happens to every single character.

The J.D. Robb "In Death" series are best when read in order - great series.

Lieutenant Eve Dallas faces a serial killer who offers his victims eternal youth by taking their life...

This is the 16th book of Nora Roberts 'In Death' series featuring Lieutenant Eve Dallas and cohorts. Another excellent read.

The J.D. Robb series is the best!

After a tip from a reporter, Eve Dallas finds the body of a young woman in a dumpster on Delany street. Just hours before the news station had mysteriously recieved a portfolio of professional portraits of the woman. The photos seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary for any pretty young woman starting a modeling career.Except she wasn't a model. And the photos were taken after she was murdered.

Now Eve is on the tail of a killer who's a perfectioist and an artist. He carefully observes and records his victims every move. And he has a mission: to own every beautiful young woman's innocence, to capture their youth and vitality-in one fateful shot...

Edgy and raw

This is book #16 in Nora Roberts/JD Robb's "In Death" series.

Someone is sending Nadine Furst, Lieutenant Eve Dallas's friend and reporter, pictures of young men and women - pictures of them both before and after they are dead. Not every artist is in search of beauty.

Good story, typical for the series, but remarkable only in that you don't figure out who dunnit until the very last pages...a good job of obscuring the trail.

SPOILER alert!! This book is somewhat significant in the series as this is Eve & Roarke's 1st big bump in the road...Roark pulls away when family business crops up, shutting Eve out. This also marks the introduction, for later books, of some of Roarke's family - the one he wasn't aware of having at all until this installment of the series.

I'm addicted to the Eve Dallas series and this one does not disappoint!

Loved it!
