I was really excited for this book because of the setting (gaming store) and the geek culture but it just didn't pan out. ( ) Autumn runs a gaming shop, and when one of her customers is killed in a weird fashion in the middle of a LARP (that's a live-action roleplaying game) her store has sponsored, she takes it upon herself to investigate. As a dyed-in-the-wool geek gal, myself, I enjoyed Autumn's nerdy pop-culture references and appreciated the fact that one of her motivations in taking the investigation into her own hands was a worry that the murder would play damagingly into the stereotype of gamers as violent weirdos. I mean, I did have someone tell me once, in all seriousness, that I shouldn't play Dungeons and Dragons because it's "Satanic." So I can sympathize entirely. I do have to say, though, that while the confrontation with the murderer in the end is reasonably exciting, I didn't find the mystery as a whole all that compelling. It's all readable enough, but I do wish I'd cared just a little more about the question of whodunnit than I actually did. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
A supremely geeky murder mystery perfect for Whovians, gamers, and Muggles alike. Autumn has everything she could possibly want: Loving friends, a successful business, and a gaggle of nerds in her store every day. Welcome to Ten Again, a tabletop gaming store that attracts nerds of every kind and fosters a community Autumn's pretty proud of-a community that also keeps business afloat. And now that Autumn's in the running for a grant, Ten Again's future is looking bright. That is, until one of Autumn's gamers is mysteriously murdered. With everyone in the mall as a suspect and accusations flying, Autumn is going to have to do some sleuthing of her own to save her shop. And to save her gamers from what seems to be an increasingly more dangerous fate. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
