Origin in Death Lit Anal.

“Origin in Death” written by Nora Roberts or her alias J.D Robb is about Lieutenant Eve Dallas as she attempts to solve the murder case of Dr. Icove a brilliant plastic surgeon beloved by his many patience. The story is pretty routine of a cop drama and mysteries clues are found evidence analyzed. As the story progresses Dr. Icove’s son is called into suspicion until he as well is murdered leaving Eve at a loss Clues are found evidence analyzed. She eventually stumbles upon the Icoves obsessions with perfection which spirals in to a flurry of questions which inevitably leads her to find and uncover an organization founded by the Icoves focusing and creating female clones that are genetically perfect.  The Theme of “Origin in Death” is perfection and no matter how hard you try to attain it true perfection cannot be achieved. Thought this entire series due to the characters many tragic back stories the author keeps a somber serious tone through the entire novel. J.D Robb uses suspense constantly to keep the reader on the edge and give him or her a better sense of what is transpiring by heightening the action a drawing more attention to all the details.

  The author describes Detective Eve Dallas as a young beautiful women with an aggressive and strong willed personality. She constantly tells people how incompetent or stupid their being when she actually cares deeply for them all. It seems as though she treats the people closest to her the worst. Most of the time when there is some kind of action or revelation Eve’s actions directly explains how she is on the inside. The author uses both approaches to fully develop Eve as someone relate-able. The only notable thing I can see that changes when the author talks about character is that the tone changes to be more human and motherly as if J.D Robb holds these characters very close to her. For the most part Eve stays static she is very clearly defined at the beginning and hardly changes through to the end. This is one of the few books I’ve read (since it’s a series) that I really did connect with the characters and took away that I really had met people.
