I was unexpectedly surprised at the enjoyable plot that kept me guessing to the end. The author does not go too deeply into the land of role-playing games - just enough to give you idea of how they work, the kinds of people involved (a real variety), why they're fun, and how they can be perverted by a few unstable personalities into terrifying traps for even those who are not involved in the games themselves. A fun read.

Good book, interesting plot. Thought I had it all figured out, but she surprised me with a few twists and turns that made me question my theory. Ending had a few more surprises, too! A little bit of romance thrown in for good measure, but nothing over the top or annoying enough to detract from the suspense. If you like your mysteries with a few surprises, I think you would enjoy this book.

"The White Rabbit beckons you to follow him, down the rabbit hole, into his world. He's a deceiver, a trickster. You won't know what is truth and what is lie. He aims to best you. Beat you. And when he does, you die."
"A friend's brutal murder turns former homicide detective Stacy Killian's life upside down. Unwilling to trust Spencer Malone, the overconfident New Orleans detective assigned to the case, Stacy is compelled to return to the investigative role she had fled.
The investigation leads Stacy and Spencer to White Rabbit, a cultish fantasy role-playing game. White Rabbit is dark, violent--and addictive. As the body count mounts, they find themselves trapped in a terrifying game that's more real than life and death. Because anyone can die before the final moment when White Rabbit is over...and the Killer Takes All.

Spindler uses New Orleans to good advantage as she constructs an intricate plot with more loops than the caterpillar"s hookah. It's a fun read - perfect the the beach or summer porch.

Great mystery thriller! Kept me guessing right to the very end... even though I had expected a twist and turn in the 'killer' never would've guessed 'who dun it'!

New author for me; but I'll be reading more of her work. A suspensful mystery with a bit of romance (but nothing sexually explicit like a lot of female authors seem to feel is necessary). If you haven't read this one yet don't be surprised if you change your mind about who the White Rabbit is before you're done.

Stacy Killian is in New Orleans. This is a quick read - good beach book - draws on computer game playing and is peopled with less-than-perfect characters, which is always a good thing.

Former police detective Stacy Killian has given up her badge in favor of grad school in New Orleans. But when she finds the bodies of her neighbors, she doesn't believe the police are doing everything they can to find the killers. Stacy starts her own investigation into their deaths. The investigation leads her to a violent on-line role-playing game called White Rabbit. As she compares notes with Police Detective Spencer Malone, they find a string of murders that are tied to the game.

I loved the first half of the story and couldn't put it down. The story was speeding along with something new uncovered each chapter. I took a guess as to who was the Supreme White Rabbit...the person who was running the game...and got it right. But when we started uncovering the people behind the murders, I didn't think it really added up. The reasoning behind some of the actions were bizarre to me. I did end up guessing correctly, but I wasn't really satisfied with the end. Therefore, I subtracted one star. My rating: 4 Stars.
