Origin in Death (In Death #21) Review

I really do not know how Nora Roberts does it because each book in this series is better than the last. I love all the characters and how they are always evolving. This one is about a father and son plastic surgeon who are murdered in the same style by a professional. Eve is on the hunt looking at these squeaky clean doctors trying to find a flaw, any flaw in their lifestyles. Eventually one is found and the level of corruption and sheer madness is crazy. I won't go into it, don't want to ruin it for the rest of you. I love how each story line affects Eve so much and how she identifies with the victims and sometimes the killers. On the personal front, Mavis is ready to pop and she wants Eve and Roarke to be her birthing coaches!!! Hilarious. It is also Thanksgiving and Roarke invites the whole family clan that he just discovered existed from Ireland. This terrifies her and Roarke to such an extreme that is it heartwarming. Every In Death book elicits a few tears from me by the end, a mark of a very good book.

Origin in Death (In Death #21) Overview

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.
