Fantasy in Death [Hardcover]

I've finished "Fantasy in Death" the 31st book in her In Death series by J.D. Robb.

Product Description

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. . . .

My Review:
 
I highly recommend this series if you like in police thrillers with a kick ass heroine and her hot multi-millionaire husband!
 
Storyline: I really enjoyed the storyline because I"m also a gamer and it was well written.  I love the way that Eve figures out why and who does the murder(s) with help from her team and her husband Roarke.

Characters: All of the characters are well written especially Eve and Roarke.  Eve is such a kick ass heroine and the way she banters with Summerset gets me everytime.  Roarke is a man that all the women want and the way he loves Eve and wants to protect her (I love that he has a memento of when he first met her and what it means to him).

Romance:  I love the romance between Eve and Roarke because in every book you can tell how much they love each other and what lengths they would go for each other.  They have grown from the first book to the recent one.

Killer: The killer was well written and you get the idea what they are like and why they did it.
