For IoJima, as an RABCK welcome to BCUK.
Off in the post to IoJima today. Enjoy!
A RABCK Welcome from Scotsbookie! Looking forward to it. Thank you.
I'm afraid I was tired of the "tough guy" persona by the end of page 1. I have no idea what the story is (literally) with the husband and the other guy she hates. I don't know enough about the victim to care about her, so who is there left for me to care about? And the futuristic details don't seem to add anything, either. Maybe I should have started the series at the beginning. :)

Nadine Furst, news reporter and ally of Eve Dallas has received the pictures of a beautiful young person posed when dead. Dallas finds the body in a dumpster. Eve is now on the trail of a murderer who believes he can capture his victim's images. He is a perfectionist and every detail of the crime seems to be perfected. The murderer observes and records his victims every move until he can own and record their image for one last time.
Eve is ecstatic that Somerset, the butler she loves to hate but loves he takes such good care of Roarke, is going away for 2 weeks. On the morning he is to depart Somerset falls and breaks his leg. Curses!!
Trueheart, a rookie cop gets to go undercover and has to save himself from suffering the same fate as the other victims.
Roarke finds out about his past. Roarke handles things very differently from Dallas and his finding out and the resolution of his feelings and how Eve goes about helping Roarke deal with his past is very touching.
Another great book in the series. After 16 books in the series, the characters continue to develop. The murder in each book takes a back seat to the wonderful way in which these characters interact.

This book pretty much follows the rest of the In Death books. Have you noticed how Dallas always has to deal with serial killers? It would be nice to have a change of pace where she has one murder to solve and no more to follow.
I also thought Roarke's outburst about his mother was contrived. From everything we've learned of Roarke's personality in the previous books (16 of them?), I don't believe he would have acted like this. It felt like the author was just trying to add drama.

This book is back with me :)
My mom, AceofHearts, passed away from breast cancer on September 17, 2013. Aside from being one of the best people I know, she was an avid reader and took immense pleasure in Bookcrossing, her book club, and reading many great books. This book is one that we both read, as we had been reading J.D. Robb's 'In Death' series together, and she listed as available to pass along to someone else.
I will be releasing this in my mom's memory.

I picked up at Starbuck's, Trafalgar and Dundas.
I left Portrait in Death at Second Cup on Lakeshore and Navy street on Dec 23rd.
Happy reading. It took me a few chapters to get into it, however, the story line proved to be very interesting.
