A baffling series of
multiple homicides leaves Atlanta's Deputy Chief of Detectives Elaine
Jentzen no choice but to call in FBI agent Trace Callahan. Elaine is
aware of Trace's reputation for being as ruthless as the killers he
tracks—but she isn't prepared for the immediate and dangerous attraction
that ignites between them.
Trace is convinced a serial killer
known as the Gamekeeper is behind the deadly sprees. But all the
evidence begins to point to Trace—until Elaine discovers a link in the
crimes: a computer game with an ominous warning—Trace will be next to
die. Now the only way Elaine can save Trace is if she plays the game.
But not by the Gamekeeper's rules….
Review: Dying
to Play is a reissue from Debra Webb so it is a book that is new for
those of us that missed it the first time around and for those who have
already enjoyed it before a chance to get it with a beautiful new cover.
The Gamekeeper, who is the the bad guy in this book, is a timeless
character who would fit as perfectly as a killer today as he did when
this book was first published so I loved how this book did not feel like
it was dated at all like some books that are brought back are. I also
loved the matchup of Elaine and Trace. They both balanced each other out
very well by complimenting each other's weaknesses and strengths. I
also liked how as a reader you could feel the attraction between them.
I
thought the mystery of who the Gamekeeper was and who the bad people
were was well written in this book. It kept the reader guessing because
you are not really sure who to trust besides Elaine.
I am giving Dying to Play five out of five stars.
