Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2340 KP) rated No Saving Throw (A Ten Again Mystery) in Books

Save a Place for This Debut

Autumn is happy running Ten Again, the gaming store she owns in the small Wisconsin college town where she grew up. Things are going well until one of the regular gamers in the store dies in the mall. Things quickly turn on Autumn and the rest of the gamers, with some of them in particular in the police’s spotlight. But Autumn doesn’t think her gamers, who have become her friends, could really be killers. Can she prove it?

While I’m not much of a gamer, this book still sounded like lots of fun, and I was right. There are some references to geeky things, most of which I got, but if you don’t get the reference, it shouldn’t interfere with your enjoyment of the book. That’s because the mystery is strong, with lots of events and clues to keep the pages turning until we reach the logical and suspenseful climax. The characters are wonderful, and I love how much they care for each other. I also appreciated Autumn’s debates about being involved in the investigation. It felt realistic when she would try to get out before something pulled her back in. I do wish Autumn swore a little less, but that’s my only complaint about this fun debut.

It is so great!

Nintendo has really done it this time. I was only going to play for an hour the first time and just couldn't put it down. Fun for all ages. Takes me back to the Mario games when I was a kid. Highly recommended for anyone including only casual gamers to the hardcore game nerd.
