Summary: Weaker than usual, but still a good murder mystery
Comment: I really do like the '..in death' series. But I must admit I was a little disappointed by this particular book. Yes, the murder mystery part was well done, as always. But that's not what makes this series special, at least not from my point of view. It is watching the characters evolve and develop. Not only Eve and Roarke, and their relationship, but all the other 'side' characters that have been introduced in the previous books. In 'Imitation in Death', all the side characters are mentioned once, as if for form's sake. I would have preferred if J.D. Robb had concentrated more on one of them, but had told a real story about him or her. Also, Eve and Roarke carry on as usual, fighting, making up, but there is little character development. To sum it up, hardly anything happens in this book, exept for a murder mystery. That makes it a good book, but not an exceptional one. I hope this is not a sign that J.D. Robb is running out of ideas for her characters, and I'm looking forward to the next (hopefully better) book in the series.

Summary: Continuing the great tradition of the IN DEATH Series
Comment: Every once in a great while, a series comes along to capture the imagination, the mind, and the heart. This series continues to be one of the best written sagas I have seen in many years.
Each new installment helps develop the characters a little further, adding depth and shape to these individuals. You must start at the 1st installment, NAKED IN DEATH, to truly learn, experience, and grow to love each new character in JD Robbs In Death saga.
In this installment, Lieutenant Eve Dallas is personally selected by the killer to play Cat and Mouse. The killer is imitating some of the most notorious serial killers ever known to man. Eve is caught in the midst of this killing spree trying to use her historical knowledge of serial killers, investigative skills, and unique team of cohorts to solve this series of murders.
And in the middle of this intense investigation, Eve and her circle of friends/family are dealing with various personal issues, as usual: Roarke is still coping with the discovery of his birth mother, Peabody is pursuing her Detective badge and cohabitating with McNab. Eve is overjoyed because Summerset is still on vacation, dealing with nightmarish discoveries about her past, learning to love and accept her quirky circle of friends as her family, and realizing that her wonderful husband is vulnerable like the rest of us.
The most hilarious scene involves Eve, Roarke, and a barbeque grill!
Books that make me laugh out loud or cry with heart felt emotions are rare; this book did just that and it is why I keep re-reading this series and waiting for the next installment to be released.
This one is exceptionally good and the ending was absolutely great too!

Summary: A great addition to the series
Comment: I really enjoyed this addition to the In Death series.
Eve is on the trail of a serial killer who is imitating famous killers of the past. I thought the mystery was really well done and I really didn't know who the killer was until the end (and I'm one of those people who usually figure it out early :)
I also liked the theme of mothering and how that fit into more understanding of Eve and Roarke's relationships with their mothers.
What I most appreciated was the humor. The book could have been especially dark because of the killer but there was enough humor sprinkled throughout that I had MANY laugh out loud moments - great story!
