Portrait in Death (In Death, Bk 16)
Lenore avatar reviewed on + 193 more book reviews


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.
