Immortal in Death

This is the third in J.D. Robb's In Death series. As Eve and Roarke are planning their wedding (i.e.- Roarke is doing everything), suddenly Eve has a huge case come up. When she has to charge her best friend with the murder of a famous fashion model, there's the potential for everything to go wrong.

This is where Eve first picks Peabody to help on a case (as opposed to Peabody already being on the case).

As Jake Casto, an Illegals cop is pulled into the case with Eve, she finds herself racing against the clock to find out what a weasel, an illegals dealer, and the fashion model had in common.

And she has to help plan her wedding.

It was cute, and I like getting to know Peabody more. I like Peabody. Also, where she remembers what happened that last night in Dallas with her father. The emotional aspect is good, as is the murder. In the early series, Robb is good about doing that. Later, books get good at one or the other, but not both. This is one that does both really well.
