The Killing Game – JS Carol
A woman walks into a restaurant. Will she come out alive?
JJ Johnson is Hollywood’s favourite publicist. Her word can launch careers – and break them.
But when lunch at exclusive restaurant Alfie’s turns into a fight for her life against a terrifying stranger, she quickly learns this is one situation she can’t talk her way out of.
The twisted individual knows everything about each of the wealthy diners. And soon, it becomes clear that he wants something more than money.
Can JJ find a way out, or risk becoming a victim to a man with nothing left to lose…?
My thanks to Bookouture for my review copy
JJ Johnson has built a career out of manipulating situations, putting the right people into the right place and gaining maximum exposure for her clients. She is the ringmaster. A Puppet Master. As one of the best publicists in Hollywood she understands the importance of being seen at all the right places.
Alfie’s restaurant is an exclusive destination for the great and good of Hollywood. It can take weeks to get table but it offers a haven away from snooping journalists and paparazzi camera lenses. JJ loves to eat at Alfie’s and she can arrange a table at short notice if she feels it would work to a client’s advantage.
But as we join JJ and the other diners at Alfie’s we will quickly find that being sheltered from public view is not always a good thing. When the Ringmaster has to cede control to someone else a dangerous game begins and there is no guarantee that there will be any survivors. In a story which unfolds over a very tight timeframe (and can virtually be read in real time) this is an absolute rush of a read.
I inhaled The Killing Game when I read it. The pages could not turn fast enough and I just did not want to put it down. JS Carol lets the story flow at a breakneck pace and, pleasingly, there was always the feeling that ANYTHING could happen next.
If you like your thrillers packed with action, unpredictable and with a high body-count then look no further than The Killing Game.
