First Quarter Trivia Challenge - Portrait in Death
Duration: February 1, 2024 - February 29, 2024

How much do you know about the In Death series books? Ready to test your knowledge? Here’s how the challenge works.

• Each quarter we will create a poll for members to vote for their most favorite In Death book. The top three will be used for that quarter’s challenge.
• One book will be featured each month in that quarter with trivia questions created based on the story.
• The trivia challenges will be posted on the first day of each month at 8:00 a.m. EST.
• There are two ways to win. The first one to complete the questions and the person getting the most correct answers will be the winners.
• Winners will receive designated award titles. The one who completes the challenge first will receive the Nadine Furst Ace Reporter award title. The person getting the most questions correct will receive the Eve Dallas Super Cop award title.
• We will maintain a list of the winners throughout the challenge.
• We are using the honor system, counting on you not to look at other members’ answers. We invite you to try and answer the questions from memory but it’s your decision as to whether you reference the book for help.

You got 14 correct (#3 isn’t quite correct).

[Agnieszka]

This one's way too long and I don't have an own copy. The first two stumped me already so I'm not even attempting it :-(

[Jonetta]

The book’s too long or the questions? That’s too bad.

What I meant is that it's too long ago I've read this one, plus it was only the German translation (not the best enjoyment, now that I've read some of the original stories - the language is very different, as the general feeling of the novels).
I remember I enjoyed it a lot and hope to get a deal on it, so I can re-read it.

[Jonetta]

Ahh! Thanks for clarifying.
