Description

“This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don’t have to wake up early!”
—Reader review for The Killing Game
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
 
In the impeccable suburb of Barren Pines, uniform houses and manicured lawns conceal the imperfect truths and deadly secrets of its residents' lives.
 
Eliza Bennett's world unravels thread by thread when she discovers her husband's double life—one tangled with another woman and a series of chilling vanishings.
 
But Eliza is a woman with ghosts of her own. Haunted by a history of paranoia and psychiatric treatment, her quest for the truth is mired in her own skepticism. 
 
As the façade of their picture-perfect marriage crumbles, does the evidence at her fingertips reveal a sinister betrayal and buried secrets? Or could it be the creation of her own troubled mind?

    Too much redundancy. Words repeated over and over again. I won’t be reading any other of her books. Writing was much too dramatic for me.
  • Too Many

    Too many times repeating the same concept…over & over. “In stark contrast to…” was repeated 50x
  • Not a fan.

    I absolutely did not like this book. Too much redundancy about her past trauma, and no depth , no tension. It just fell very flat for me.
  • Meh

    It was ok in the beginning but the plot kinda fell flat towards the end. The author repeats a lot. Several questions left unanswered.

    There were some things that left me questioning, like why it was never divulged who the parking lot attacker was. And her lipstick matching her dress for the big gala and her dress was green. I know things slip by like that but the attacker ought to have been addressed.
