30 Day Book Meme - Day 4

( Days 1-3 )

Day 04 – Favorite book of your favorite series - So, having admitted how much I love the "In Death" series (so maybe I'm not a serious-all-the-time reader, your point?), let me share my favorite book with you.  There's several good contenders, but I'd have to go with Visions in Death, which is near the midpoint of the series currently.  It's the one where the psychic uses her connection with a serial killer to try covering up her own murder of a rival (in her eyes at least)... and for those of us enjoying the series continuity, it's the one where Ian McNabb finally finds out that Delia Peabody (girlfriend and about-to-be cohabitation partner) never did sleep with Charles Monroe, the sexy licensed companion (sex work is legal and regulated in Eve Dallas's world).  Overall, it has one of the better plots, and some of the better dialogue.  Runners up would include Witness in Death, where the killer commits the murder during a production of Witness for the Prosecution with Eve in the audience, and the short story "Haunted in Death", where Eve wraps up an eighty-five year old murder and a much newer one, with a few brushes with the spirit world.
