This isn't going to be a proper review, because I find it hard to write reviews once you get more than an handful of books into a long running series. This one is #21. I will say that the storyline in this one creeped me out big time. What was truly going on beneath the surface was truly horrifi...

Icove is murdered in his office with a single, precise, stab to the heart with a scalpel. The suspect, a stunning young woman, is a ghost; her name and address is bogus and no one s...

I came across a CD version of this book, quite by chance, and decided to listen to it in the car. I'm not a great fan of detective stories generally, so I was really surprised how much I enjoyed this. It was number 21 of an ongoing series (now on 45), and I had wondered about picking up a book in th...

Out of all the books in series so far, this has been the most terrifying to me. And there have been some ugly and horrible murders in other books. But this story creates a deeply human horror in me that will stay in my head a while I think. And even with that, it was probably one of my favorites in ...

This book is one of the few so far in this series that has really given me the shivers. I do like crime procedural TV shows so it takes something to creep me out like Origin in Death did. Things start off normal with Eve interviewing a starlet who was beaten by her lover right before she killed hi...

This was a tough story for Eve. She had to discover the killer of some hotshot doctor, but at the same time Roarke decided to invite his family for Thanksgiving. I love Roarke and during this book was the first time for me to see him a little nervous, he was scared and way to obsessed with the holid...

This is the famous Icove case that Nadine later makes into a book. It's mentioned quite a lot in later books, but I couldn't really remember anything about the case just that it involved clones. I'm kind of amazed at how willing Eve is to bend the rules in this one: she lets the clones go even...

Everyone should read this book, everyone! It doesn't matter if you read the ones before and don't know the characters, you can catch up along the way... The mind-fuck of this story is just too great to pass up!
