Editorial Reviews:
In the latest novel from #1 New York Times-bestselling author J.D. Robb, it is game over for the criminals pursued by NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas.
Bart Minnock, founder of the computer-gaming giant U-Play, enters his private playroom, and eagerly can't wait to lose himself in an imaginary world, to play the role of a sword-wielding warrior king, in his company's latest top-secret project, Fantastical.
The next morning, he is found in the same locked room, in a pool of blood, his head separated from his body. It is the most puzzling case Eve Dallas has ever faced, and it is not a game. . . .
NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas is having as much trouble figuring out how Bart Minnock was murdered as who did the murdering. The victim's girlfriend seems sincerely grief-stricken, and his quirky-but-brilliant partners at U-Play appear equally shocked. No one seemed to have a problem with the enthusiastic, high-spirited millionaire. Of course, success can attract jealousy, and gaming, like any business, has its fierce rivalries and dirty tricks-as Eve's husband, Roarke, one of U- Play's competitors, knows well. But Minnock was not naive, and quite capable of fighting back in the real world as well as the virtual one.
Eve and her team are about to enter the next level of police work, in a world where fantasy is the ultimate seduction-and the price of defeat is death. . . .

- Summary: ok
- Comment: I love, love, love J.D. Robb's books. Eve and Roarke are two of my all time favorite characters. But, this last book was very formulaic to me. It was like Robb took pieces from all of her novels and sewed this one together. I hope this was a one time fluke, and the rest will pick back up, because the Eve Dallas series are probably my all time favorite books.
- Customer Rating:
- Summary: Great treatment of a horrible situation
- Comment: This was excellent as always but the emotions shown were done extremely well. Not just a normal mystery but one made you realize how events effect us all
- Customer Rating:
- Summary: Sadly disappointed
- Comment: There's no surprise when it comes to J.D.Robb/Nora Roberts book's anymore. I'm so disappointed. If you're looking for a good mystery, something that will keep you guessing, this isn't the book for you.

- Summary: WowJD
- Comment: J.D.Robb presents a special kind of Mystery/Detective/Suspense story that I get started and can't put down. My work and sleep schedule has gone to the birds even though Iv'e been retired for more than twenty years. I look forward to each release. Keep it up!!!

- Summary: Poor copyediting was distracting
- Comment: It's not the first time I've found errors in books by J D Robb, but the number and level of them in this book (I have the Kindle version) was very distracting. I felt that it had been rushed out, and it would have been well worth the extra time to give it a proper edit. I too got confused about who was speaking, and at one point was trying to figure out how someone could finish their coffee, and then set it aside. I did enjoy the complexity of the whodunnit, but I found the extra level of Eve's introspection a distracting departure from the earlier character. To be expected I suppose, since people do grow, so it's good that a character can do so as well.
