I listened to this book while traveling to Salt Lake several times in the last two months. Admittedly, that's not the best way to listen to a book if you forget as easily as I do, but I was able to follow along pretty well. The "In Death" mystery series features Lt. Eve Dallas of the New York Police Homocide Dept. The series takes place well into the future and I enjoy the author's creativity in the plots involving her odd characters and advanced technology. This particular book deals with the murder of a game creater who is beheaded while playing his creation in a locked room. As always, I find Eve Dallas to be a strong, intelligent woman who manages to solve the crime with the help of her hunky husband, Roarke, and her partner, Delia, and Delia's boyfriend who is also part of the homocide squad. Listening to the story changed it up and I found the reader did a good job portraying each character. All in all, though, it was just okay. There is obligatory sex scene between Roarke and Eve that is ever so tiresome and too much profanity as always. The mystery itself was okay but farfetched even for being placed in a sci fi setting. It was just hard to get into. I would probably have liked it even less if I had read it instead of listening.
