About this ebook

They played games with murders; harmless games, it seemed, piecing together details from news reports; imagining theories about how and why; and wagering each other on the outcomes.

The Dunwright murders were tragic: Dillon and Martha were killed, and Brianne was missing. Still, like the others, this game wasnt supposed to be serious. But was it an execution or a kidnapping? And why was so little progress being made toward solving the case? Their curiosities fired up, Armis and Jake broke the rules and did their own sleuthing. If the investigation was being subverted, who was doing it, and why?

The mystery deepened when nine-year-old Briannes dismembered remains were discovered weeks later and miles awayand Armis quest for her killer became an obsession.

Yet, through encounters with corrupt lawmen, malevolent executives, and reticent family members, Armis was unable to find the answers he needed; until he met the mysterious Malwina. She insidiously drew him into her plan of personal vengeance, and closer to learning the reasons Brianne had to die. But as they intruded into a world where the bad guys seldom lose, the game turned dangerous...and deadly.

What started in the beginning with a bunch of disjointed chapters, ended with a complete mystery. As a reader who loves a little suspense and mystery, as a whole I enjoyed this book, but the beginning got me so twisted that it took awhile for me to start getting into the story. With a lot of characters who are easy to intermingle, this book is not for the faint of the heart. I admit to a little post it noting so that I could keep all the people straight, it was hard. As for the story, I love when you cannot predict a mystery - I never want to know where it will end and with this one I was pleasantly clueless until the end. A book that I would recommend to those who love a little mystery and suspense. It is worth putting all the puzzle pieces together to solve all of the who dun its.

I love mysteries. It is even better when the mystery has the reader so involved they are walking right alongside the characters. In this book, Jake and Armis have always competed to figure out murders. A creepy hobby in my opinion, but to each his own. Something has changed in their little game. A murder form the past seems to have some sort of connections to a recent disappearance. AT first the book felt a little disjointed. Some many different characters. I was not really sure who to trust, who was believable. Suddenly, everything was brought together in a nice neat packet. All of the loose ends and characters were brought together and the reader says, “Oh, I didn’t see that coming.” That in my opinion is the making of a great book! It is for these reasons that I would recommend this book, especially to those who love mysteries. This was my first reading of any work by this author. I will definitely look for more work by him.
