Origin in Death - Nora Roberts writing as J D Robb





This novel starts with the murder of Dr Wilfred Icove Sr's death in his medical facility.Dr Icove is a reconstructive and cosmetic surgeon and the year is 2059.Lieutenant Eve Dallas and Detective Delia Peabody,as well as a team of high profile experts(including Roarke,Dallas's husband),try to unravel the mystery surrounding this death and others which follow subsequently.

Here is a novel which deals with the uses and abuses of cloning.Nora Roberts is imaginative and projects us in a future where everyone wants to be perfect:intellectually or physically.From hair extensions to A+ in applied physics,you name it,you can have it!With a nice price tag , of course!!

What impressed me the most in this novel is the main character:Eve Dallas.Unlike her namesake,this Eve is not very feminine.She swears,acts tough,dresses un-femininely,does not have any feminine reflexes,check this out:this chick literally has to be forced by her pals to go to a beautician.Despite all this,she lands herself Roarke,a to-die-for hunk who is rich as Cresus,sensitive,endearing and totally bowled over by her.I really hope that this guy is what the future has in store for us,nice chicks and dudes...
