Book Reviews of Origin In Death

Book Review: Three Stars
Summary: 3 Stars

I wasn't sure I would like Origin in Death because its a bit Science Fiction and I'm very picky when it comes to that catagory. I enjoyed the storyline very well. The murder of the father who was greatly admired by the wonderful Dr. Mira. Then the son followed by the learning or realization of cloning and the school. The questions that were raised about cloning. It was nice seeing Louise and Charles again. I liked that Morris now has another woman flirting with him. Delia was as good as always.
But as I contiune to enjoy the series I'm become less fond our favorite Detective Dallas. I'm sure I'm probably in the minority but all of the things that I liked about her in the beginning of the series I now find irrating and very unlikable. I used to like Eve with her loud mouth but lately its been getting irrating berating people around her. First, demanding she go into a murder scene in another state and was ticked off because a cop was preventing her from doing so. I'm sorry but when did New Hampshire become a jurdiction of New York City? I don't care if its 2059, 2006 or 3501 a detective can't go barging into a crime scene in another state. Then she went onto the argument with Dr. Mira being completely disrespectful and right down nasty. In the last two books Eve and only Eve is allowed to have the right opinion or right way. She can not even enterain or believe that someone else could have a different opinion. I was glad to see Dr. Mira not apologize for the argument. She is the first person in a long time not to have to apologize to Eve for having a different opinion. I also would like to see her to stop being the only priority in her marriage. I'd like to see her stop taking Roarke for granted and start thinking about him. We had a part where Roarke was talking about his family and especially his aunt to Louise. A converation he should of been having with Eve. She should of been there talking to her husband about how he felt about having his family visiting for Thanksgiving, his guilt that he still fills responsible for his mother's death. I realize Eve has issues but so does Roarke and with all the help he's been with her nightmares and problems, Roarke deserves the same from her. I would of liked Eve to of reflected on the comment Roarke made that he wouldn't know if cheese and fruit on a tray is wifely thing considering Eve's never done it, and realize how little she gives to Roarke and start allready. Eve never asks him about his trips or his work. She still doesn't know what businesses her husband owns in the beginning of the series this was cute now it just comes of as self-absorbed. Hopefully in the next book or two we can see an improvement on Eve. I also disliked her comment about how no man is that perfect, to which Delia pointed out her own father was a great man. I was pleased to hear that, Delia's the only main charactor to actually be raised by good parents and I've always liked her bring that up to Eve. But did NR have to put in that Delia's father had been arrested a few times? Sure it was only minor but that wasn't necessary and it proved Eve's point that no father can be completely clean. Not all fathers or men who have clean record are hiding something. My own father happens to be among these.

Summary of Origin In Death

New York Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her partner Peabody enter the hallowed halls of the Wilfred B. Icove Center for Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery on a case. A hugely popular vid star has been beaten to a bloody pulp - and has killed her attacker in the process. After a post-op interview, Dallas and Peabody confirm for themselves that it?s a clear-cut case of self-defense, but before they can leave the building, another case falls into their hands. Dr. Wilfred B. Icove himself has been found dead in his office - murdered in a chillingly efficient manner: one swift stab to the heart. Struck by the immaculate condition of the crime scene, Dallas suspects a professional killing. Security discs show a stunningly beautiful woman calmly entering and leaving the building: the good doctor?s final appointment. Known as ?Dr. Perfect,? the saintly Icove devoted his life to his family and his work. His record is clean. Too clean for Dallas. She knows he was hiding something, and suspects that his son, his successor, knows what it is. Then - like father, like son - the young Dr. Icove is killed . . . with the same deadly precision. But who is the mystery woman, and what was her relationship with the good doctors? With her husband, Roarke, working behind the scenes, Dallas follows her darkest instincts into the Icoves? pasts. And what she discovers are men driven to create perfection - playing fast and loose with the laws of nature, the limits of science, and the morals of humanity.
