Review of "Origin in Death" by J.D. Robb
While Eve Dallas and her partner Peabody are interviewing a witness at the
Wilfred B. Icove Center for Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery, the body of Dr.
Wilfred B. Icove, Sr. is discovered. Due to the way Icove was murdered, Eve
suspects a professional hit by the last person to come in contact with Dr.
Icove, a mysterious young woman. As Eve investigates, she begins to suspect that
there is something off about Dr. Icove's practice, and when his son is found
murdered in the same manner as the father, Eve delves deeper into the doctors'
pasts. What she discovers not only sickens but shocks Eve, who, with the help
of her husband, Roarke, intends to put a stop to a secretive illegal, immoral,
and unethical scientific experiment that involves cloning.
J.D. Robb aka Nora Roberts has written an engaging thriller here about a
subject that is presently being debated among the scientific community and which,
due to DNA advancements, may very well come to pass. Eve's edgy manner of
dealing with people, balanced by Roarke's understanding and love and Peabody's
perky demeanor, continue to bring freshness to a well-grounded series.
Recommended.
