Imitation in Death

Umm.... I read this one over a month ago.

Salient points? Eve is investigating a serial murderer who imitates famous murderers of the past (i.e. Jack the Ripper). With each body, he left a cocky note on expensive and very hard-to-find paper to Eve (paper made from non-recycled paper is illegal in the future), and the paper led to several possible suspects. I was most pleased when the murderer's identity was determined.

One of the most entertaining parts of the book was Peabody studying for her detective's exam. Peabody, being Peabody, would constantly doubt herself when her instincts are quite good to start with. McNab and Eve provided support in their very different ways, McNab's ways being more naked. Of course Peabody passes and Eve wears her uniform for the ceremony, much to Roarke's amusement.
