Celebrity in Death

In Death, Book 34

By: J. D. Robb

Narrated by: Susan Ericksen

Length: 13 hrs and 53 mins

Publisher's summary

Her career in homicide has taken her into the darkest depths of New York City’s underground - and sometimes Lieutenant Eve Dallas feels more comfortable in those kinds of places than in the high-rise, high-society world of her billionaire husband, Roarke. But while she’s no party girl, she’s managing to have a reasonably good time at the celebrity-packed bash celebrating the debut of The Icove Agenda. This time it’s Eve, not Roarke, who’s a guest of honor, since the film is based on one of her famous cases. Her partner, Peabody, is practically giddy over rubbing shoulders with Hollywood royalty. Eve, on the other hand, is more likely to roll her eyes than have stars in them. But she has to admit it’s a little spooky seeing the actress playing her, who looks almost like her long-lost twin. Not as unsettling, though, as seeing K. T. Harris, the actress who plays Peabody - drowned in the lap pool on the roof of the director’s luxury building. Talented but rude, and widely disliked, K.T. had made an embarrassing scene during dinner. She clearly liked being the center of attention. Now she’s at the center of a crime scene - and Eve is more than ready to get out of her high heels and strap on her holster, to step into the role she was born to play: cop.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Another hit for JD Robb

I love the voices that Susan Ericksen comes up with. It just isn't the same to read these books. I have to listen to them and hear the voices that go with Roarke and Peabody and even the Commander. The Story was good as well. Did miss Summerset. Another great book in the IN DEATH series!!

A Headliner on The Who-Dunit Marquee

J. D. Robb is a no brainer when looking for a listen that rates an 8 to 10 in the mystery, romance, and humor department. Celebrity is no exception but I classify it as an 8 having been spoiled by Robb's 10s. And I must point out that an 8 isn't exactly chopped liver! I missed the new parents and Bella but Nadine Furst was her normal feisty and persistent self. The 'In Death' series never short falls is the character department. Well worth a credit and a minimum of two days listening time!

A decent read

Would you try another book from J. D. Robb and/or Susan Ericksen?

Would you recommend Celebrity in Death to your friends? Why or why not?

This series has a good plotline and great character development. It just keeps developing and keeps giving the reader more. I'd recommend this series to anyone.

What about Susan Ericksen’s performance did you like?

I like how Ms. Ericksen does Roarke's accent.

Did Celebrity in Death inspire you to do anything?

Nope. I wish the ending followed through a little better.

Awesome as always.

What made the experience of listening to Celebrity in Death the most enjoyable?

I have read all the JD Robb books but did not have the time to fit this one in, so listening while I was at work was awesome.

What did you like best about this story?

There's nothing to not like about Dallas stories.

Love it to death!

I have listened to almost everyone of these 34 books and its much better than the written books. I love the character added through Ericksen's narration. What becomes muddled in a series when I read it, each book truly stands out with the narration.

Another excellent JD Robb story

I love this series. The author is always so good at creating characters with depth and a sense of humor. I have been reading Nora Roberts aka JD Robb books since she was first published. There is a good balance between romance, suspense and continuation of the overall storyline and character development in this the series. I particularly enjoy the dialogue between Dallas and Roark and Dallas and Peabody. I have the books but prefer to listen as the narration is so good. Erickson does an amazing job of portraying male and female voices with different accents and subtleties. She really brings the stories to life and truly is gifted!

The intensity

I do love the book highly recommend. This series is riveting and character development fantastic

Another score for J.D. Robb!

I'm always waiting for the next installment of the In Death series, and as soon as it is possible I download it. I simply love it!
The narration by Susan Ericksen is great. She does a great work distinguishing the voices of the characters, and after so many books is great to hear them back...
It is one more good book for this series.

Lights , Camera and 🎬 Action

This was a clever and entertaining one.

The filming of Nadine's book about The Icove Case bring Eve and Rourke , Peabody and all others with the actors who play them in the movie. A

All is fun and games until the actor playing Peabody gets dead.

Another strong installment in the series

Slow and totally credible character development, including just about the most perfect scene between Peabody and McNab ever, in their little shared kitchenette. Great plot twist that I sure didn't see coming!
