Fantasy in Death

Fantasy in Death is the first CD that I have listened to that is an abridgement. Normally I listen to the unabridged story. My thought process is that if an author writes something it is important to the story and I want to hear it, so I choose the unabridged. But I was very surprised that I like the Abridged version so much.

Detective Eve Dallas is called to a bizarre murder of one of the gaming founders of U-Play. Eve must answer the question of how can a man be decapitated, when his is the only one locked in the room.

I was fairly shocked that I did not feel like I missed anything when I listened to this abridged version of Fantasy in Death. I almost like it better in some ways. It was nice to know who the murderer was in 5 CD’s versus 11 CD’s. The only thing that I really noticed was that there was not as many love scenes compared to the other stories I have listened to in the In Death Series. The only drawback was that I was not able to guess who the murderer was. Guessing who did is something that I love to do. It is like I am the third Detective in the story. In general I will still be drawn to the unabridged audiobooks, but I will not shun a book if it is only available as an abridgement.

Fantasy in Death was released in February of 2010. Take a virtual ride into the world of Eve Dallas. Will she be able to discover the deceptive murderer before more deadly games are played?
