Fantasy In Death by JD Robb

Who doesn't love JD Robb's "In Death" series books? I know I've blogged about a couple of the books in this series and I never have anything bad to say. They are truly one of my favorites to snuggle up to.

Here's a short bit on Fantasy In Death:

From Publishers Weekly

Lt. Eve Dallas, a top homicide cop for the New York Police and Security Department (the law enforcement agency for a mid 21st-century New York City), faces one of the more challenging cases of her career in bestseller Robb's exciting 31st in death novel (after Kindred in Death). When someone cuts off the head of Bart Minnock, the genius founder of the computer gaming company U-Play, apparently while he was role-playing against an imaginary opponent in a prototype of a fantasy adventure that could rock the industry, Eve investigates. Security logs show no one entered Minnock's building around the time of his murder, presenting a futuristic variation on the classic locked-room mystery. Aided by her husband, Roarke, who was a potential business rival of the victim, Dallas focuses on who would benefit from Minnock's death. Robb is the pseudonym of romantic suspense author Nora Roberts. (Feb.)

From Booklist

Even though Fantastical was still in the testing phase, Bart Minnock was certain the virtual-reality game would murder the competition. Instead, Bart is the one found dead. Now Lieutenant Eve Dallas has to come up with a plausible theory as to how someone could bypass the foolproof security in the millionaire’s holo-room and decapitate him. The fact that the popular gaming guru doesn’t seem to have any enemies isn’t making Eve’s job any easier, but the more time Eve spends investigating the case, the more evidence she finds that several people may have had a reason for wanting Bart out of the way. Now, with a little hands-on training from her husband, Roarke, a computer-gaming expert, Eve sets out to write a program for catching a clever killer. In the thirtieth addition to her best-selling Eve Dallas series, Robb successfully mixes a classic locked-room murder with plenty of cutting-edge twenty-first-century technology, and the end result is an ingenious tale of crime that delivers plenty of Robb’s patented dangerous chills and passionate thrills --John Charles

Now for those of you that are like me and HAVE TO HAVE the next book in her series the day it comes out, hard cover and all, then you'll sit down to enjoy this one as well with no complaints.

This is a book where you know before opening it how the story flows. You've become so connected to the characters in the stories, there is no worry on whether or not the story will pull you in. It just does.

I've said this many times about reading these books. Before starting I was unsure of wanting to read them. I'm not huge on murder mystery plots. However, after the first book, I was hooked. I can't wait for the next one to come out.

Connecting with all of the characters in these books are so easy to do. I find myself laughing at certain situations between Lt. Eve Dallas and Detective Peabody. Or the passion between the married couple Roarke and Eve. All over just a great read.

Pick it up, you won't be disappointed, I promise.

Happy reading!
