Portrait in Death - Now in Paperback Yay!!!

After a tip from a reporter, Eve Dallas finds the body of a young woman in a Delancey street dumpster. Just hours before, the news station had mysteriously received 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 that she wasn't a model. And that these photos were taken after she had been murdered.

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

I got it on Tuesday - this is one series where I keep up with the release date through Nora's website and a Fan site.

I had it finished by the next morning! Problem is, I skimmed over the murder part once Roarke's past starting coming to light. I will sit down and reread it, not skimming over the murder parts, next week.

And the best part, Nora has a preview of Imitation, Due out in September 2003, and it sounds like Eve will be taking on a Jack the Ripper wanna be!

Jo: I read the preview blurb for "Imitation" the same way. I immediately thought ooh a Jack-the-Ripper imitator. Should be interesting.

I was floored by the new twist in Roarke's background. Very out of left field.

I thought she was going to kill Galahad for a second at the beginning after he inadvertently tripped Sommerset. I really enjoy the way she blends humor into these stories.

I glad Roarke has "good" family -- that the bad was only his father. And the news that Sommerset killed Roarke's father!!!!!!

I'm liking the way that Eve is growing more and more each book. I especially enjoyed that the love that she and Sommerset have for Roarke forces them to push their dislike for each other aside when it comes to Roarke's well being.

I hollered in laughter when Eve "doctored" Roarkes soup and he didn't see it coming! LOL
