Book Reviews of The Murder Game
Book Review: "Disappointing"
Summary: 3 Stars
I recommend reading "The Dying Game" in the sequel first
before reading "The Murder Game." The Dying Game: For
five-years, Cary Maygarden, a serial killer, went on a
murdering spree until he was caught in the final game.
Special Agent Baxter and PI Griffin put the pieces together,
once they saw the ballistics reports, that two bullets had
been found in Maygarden's body. One bullet had come from
Powell's sharpshooter's rifle and the other from an unknown
source. Agent Baxter and Griffin had been convinced that
there had been another second Beauty Queen killer. Agent
Baxter tried to get the FBI to dig deeper. The killings ended
with Maygarden's death. There was no evidence that a
second person had been involved, and the case was closed.
A year later, a new killing game involving the best Athletes
Pudge could find on the internet. He calls Nicole and Griffin
to play his new game and gives them each a clue. Nic and
Grif decided to work together to catch the serial killer.
Pudge abducted Nicole while she was taking her walk and
kept her prisoner while playing these Sadistic games to torment
her. Pudge kills his victims in three week. The FBI and Griffin's
PI Agency are racing around the clock to locate Nic.
The hunter underestimated Nic then discovering that she's
stronger than his other victims.
Griffin finally tells Nicole of the ten missing years from his
past that included Yvette and Sanders. Nic and Grif have a lot
in common, even though, in "The Dying Game" they couldn't
stand each other. Certainly the chemistry in "The Murder Game"
had made up for the lack of it in the first book in the series.
However, I liked Nicole and Griffin, I thought their character
role were outstanding and I liked the chemistry between them.
I thought, it was apparent thoughout the book. It was the only
reason I was able to finish "The Murder Game"
The Murder Game was very disappointing. I had to force
myself to finish the book. Too many errors in spelling, and
some sentences were turned around. The main reason, I didn't
like The Murder Game was the serial killer. He was a sadistic
beast who killed for the sport of it and being in control over
the women. The theme completely turned me off. I will not
be reading any books for awhile from Beverly Barton. I like
whodunit murder mystery, and in this case, The Murder
Game fell short.
Although, I do recommend her other books
(Cherokee Pointe Series,
The Fifth Victim, The Last To Die, As Good As Dead!)
What She Doesn't Know! After Dark, and the Defense
Attorney, Quinn Cortez gets his own story in Killing
Her Softly. I believe these were Beverly Barton's best.
