Imitation in Death | Nora Roberts, J. D. Robb

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR Book 17: Ch.6-10: this book is very much about mothers. We‘re coming off the revelations about Roarke‘s mother (and he‘s still very much dealing with that); Eve has a dream about her mother; Eve goes to Mira‘s family BBQ and gets to know her even better through the eyes of her daughter - who is feeling out Eve. And the killer this time around is killing mother figures.⬇️

StayCurious The case is very interesting this time around and I honestly don‘t know who is guilty. The killer is good - slick. And arrogant. I hope it‘s not the true crime writer because I kind of like him and think he could be helpful in this case. But who knows? I also like seeing more about Peabody - we see McNab helping her study (💕) and we see Eve giving her more responsibility. She‘s coming into her own. 9h

LiseWorks Yes, Eve's mom sounded pretty bad. Getting upset over her, touching her makeup. I think pretty much every little girl has done that. 9h

Imitation in Death | Nora Roberts, J. D. Robb

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 17:Ch.1-5: A very gruesome murder this time where the killer, smug and arrogant, leaves a note for Eve. She‘s the best and he wants a worthy adversary in what he sees as his game. He imitates the most famous serial killer in history, Jack the Ripper, who was never caught. So far, all Eve has to go on is expensive stationery he used for the note.⬇️

StayCurious This brings her to several interesting characters- all of whom have weak alibis. I tend to lean towards the UN guy - he was a little too cool for me. But it‘s early days yet. Peabody is training for her detectives exam - and when she gets sick at the crime scene she beats herself up about it. I think it shows a good cop who can still be vulnerable. I‘m glad Eve did not chastise her for it. ⬇️ (edited) 1w

StayCurious Eve has her own way of blowing off steam - a bit of self care and hand to hand with Roarke. It‘s good that their home is her safe place. 1w

LiseWorks It was hard for me to read about this murder, and I still really do not know who it could be. Why use expensive stationery. This guy sounds arrogant. 1w

Ddzmini @StayCurious I agree with you about Eve … and isn‘t it great that Roarke gives her the ability to have that … not just the self care and hand to hand but to know how to help her in that way 1w

TheAromaofBooks I love the way Eve supports Peabody and doesn't expect Peabody to be exactly like Eve. The whole doughnut scene cracked me up. 7d

Random in Death: An Eve Dallas Novel | J. D. Robb

I have been listening to this while doing a cross stitch project. This one is number 58 in the series. I didn't like the MC I found that she yelled a lot. The story was interesting and really different as we knew the killer right away
Not who he was but what he was thinking. I got lots of bingo spots with this one. #ISpyBingoOctNov @TheAromaofBooks #Read2025 @DieAReader

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2w

Framed in Death | J. D. Robb

Another great month of reading. Can't ever go wrong with a JD Robb. Can't believe we're on #61 of the series. It seems like she just started it yesterday.

19 books read
Only 2 books rated 2.75* and only because they were novellas
Highest rating this month was 4.25* for 3 books
Am still on the hunt for the elusive 5* book, have only had 6 this year
