J. D. Robb

NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas is having as much trouble figuring out how Bart Minnock, founder of the computer-gaming giant U-Play, was murdered as who did the murdering in this mystery revolving around a fantasy game of ultimate seduction and death.

I think I have found a new addition to my regular list of authors under my mystery/crime thriller reads!!

This is the 2nd book of J.D Robb, I have read which is part of a larger In Death series but can be read randomly as each novel has a stand alone plot.
Fantasy in death is about a murder mystery set in the computer gaming or as in the book it's called e gaming world. The main characters Eve and Roarke are as usual really awesome in my head ( Roarke is super hot in my head!!). Peabody and McNab are adorable! 
I like how the book is traditional in it's setting , like how it starts with a murder , then the cops are notified, the investigate and then ends with a bang! There is no figuring out for like first 100 pages like WTH is going on.. or figuring out who is who. I do like my twisted books as well but from time to time I prefer such books too. 
I would love if someone could just make it into a nice tv series just coz I want to see how the main characters will be fast! ( Just my wishful thinking)
Again, since I started reading them in random order, I am itching the read the first few books to get a hang of the character history.
I give it a nice 4/5 for pure old school murder mystery entertainment with a futuristic touch!!

Investigating the bizarre murder of a millionaire video game maven within a locked room, NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas is baffled by a lack of suspects and the victim's demise in spite of his considerable resources. By the author of Promises in Death. Reprint. A best-selling novel.

Not one of my favorites in the series. You would think, as a gamer, I would eat this one up, but frankly, while I liked the idea of the plot the story itself dragged a bit for me and the resolution was a bit willy-nilly for me, but of course, this won't stop me from continuing with the series.

But suddenly, Bart, the brains behind it all, is found brutally killed - defeated by his own game. Their close-knit group is torn apart. Who could have engineered such a devastating virtual death? Even Eve Dallas, New York City's most cunning investigator, is thrown. But as she peels back layers of secrets, revenge and misplaced allegiances, she realises the depth of the killer's master plan. And she knows his game is far from over . . .
