Imitation in Death (In Death, Bk 17)

In this police procedural, Lt. Eve Dallas is faced with a serial killer that likes to copycat the famous serial killers of the past - and leaves notes at the scene addressed to her. As her team delves into the mind of this maniac, Eve is faced with nightmares of her own as memories of her mother surface for the first time.

The only thing that disappointed me was realizing that the cover art gave away the killer, but since I didn't pay attention to it, I didn't realize it ahead of time.

I enjoyed the scenes with Peabody as she prepared for her detective's exam and especially her final scene. The scene between Eve and Baxter about Trueheart is great as well, and I continue to love the way all the relationships between the other characters evolve especially those with Eve. (And it was VERY fun to see something Roarke was NOT good at, for once!)
