Synopsis
They were best friends, driven by one shared vision - to rule the world of virtual reality games. Cill, hard-edged and beautiful, Var and Benny, brains and business acumen, and Bart, the genius behind the idea. Their newest invention, developed to transport the player into a fantastical virtual world, is just about to be launched. Then, suddenly, Bart is found brutally killed, defeated by their own game. Their close-knit group is torn apart. Who could have engineered a virtual death with such devastating consequences? Even Eve Dallas, New York City's most cunning investigator, is hard-pressed for an answer. But as she digs deeper, peeling back layers of secrets, revenge and misplaced allegiances, she realises with growing dread the depth of the killer's master plan. And she knows his game is far from over...
Review
One of a series - I wish I'd known before I started this as many nuances are lost by not knowing the background of main characters, the detective and her partner.
Good dialogue but quite slow in the beginning, picking up later. Obvious thought that it had to be one of the four good friends who dunnit, which made the exploration of friendship a little superfluous. While not having read any other previous books, this had the feel of mass production.
However this is intriguing murder mystery, and should appeal to those who are interested in computer technology. I couldn't be bothered to work it out so didn't understand it, which made the ending a little disappointing.
