Fantasy in Death. - By: Daehill, 17 Feb 2010 Oh my what a great read, couldn't put the book down. Now waiting for the next one.
The characters were working well together as usual & of course Eve & Roarke are a fabulous pair.
Love the way they show there love for each other even their disagreements are worth reading about.
Haven't had a reallly bad book in this series. Glad I found them
Fantastic futuristic crime & love story - By: Angela Hart, 15 Feb 2010 This is book 30 in the series & they just keep getting better & better. I can't wait for the next one.
Enjoyable but a tad predictable? - By: Liz Bks, 13 Feb 2010 
While I enjoyed the book, unlike some of the other reviewers I did find it a bit predictable - possibly because I read a lot of fantasy & science fiction. All credit to JD Robb though, for entering the gamers' world.
What did annoy me were the technical printing errors from Piatkus. Someone in their editing/proof reading section needs to check more carefully before sending it to the printers. Split sentences, incorrect dialogue punctuation can spoil the flow of the story. Glad I read a library copy - I shan't buy mine without seeing the copy first.
One of the best of the series - By: LEP, 25 Jan 2010 Excellant story. Not as dark & grim as some of the others in the series, despite the fact that the poor victim is decapitated. I think that the product description above gives rather too much away.
Here you have 4 young friends & business partners. All owners of a fledgling e-game company. 3 of them, Bart the business & e-genius, Cill the organisational & e-expert & Benny, the research & e-genius, have alll known each other since childhood. They meet & link up with Var, Marketing & e-genius at university. Roarke meets Bart at a conference & immediately wants to recruit him, but Bart & his friends want their own business, so Roarke gives them advice & helps them. Of the 4, Bart is the overalll genius & front-guy of the team. Nice, easy going, well-liked by everyone. So who then would want to decapitate him & how was it done? That is the problem for Eve.
Bart's apartment has security inside & out tighter than Fort Knox. Both the doorman & security disks are adament that no-one went into the apartment with Bart, or arrived after him. So how did the killer get in & why was nice guy Bart killed? Here Eve is out of her depth. She is no e-geek. So she has to rely on Roarke, Feeney & McNab. However, alll security systems indicate that Bart was the only one there & was the only person playing the new,in-development game. However, Bart's security system on his computer destroys the game disc when the police e-team try & remove it from the computer.
Then the killer goes after another of the partners.
I did actuallly have some vague idea after a few chapters who the killer might be & this grew as the book progressed, as a few clues are dropped here & there. However, although I also had an idea of how the murder & attempt might have been done, I couldn't figure out the details of exactly how, as it seemed too Fantastical! Excellant read, which holds you well throughout.
