Critic Reviews
“"Jack Reacher meets Thomas Crown in this electrifying thriller" (on The Hunter )”
An excellent storyline, great characters and a narrative flow to be envied, Tom Wood has succeeded in writing a terrific thriller. More please sir! Milo Rambles This is a fast moving, well written thriller which is worth more than just being stuck in a suitcase as something to read on holiday if the weather is bad Robin's Reviews Truly mesmerizing . . . a powerful, forward-driving plot and lots of brutality. I loved it. Mystery People To reveal more, particularly details of a hair-raising climax, would be to destroy the reader's enjoyment, but like the rest of this first-class piece of action work, it's ingenious and delivered with all the subtlety of a kick in the teeth. The Game is a well-plotted, well-written, brutal, bloody, but hugely enjoyable addition to a long tradition of action thrillers, the ideal book to take on holiday with you. Crime Review Exciting...no punches pulled Choice
