What a mother will do for her child can be amazing. Kept me guessing! ( )This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I enjoyed this mystery, and found it to be a page-turner, hard to put away for the night. The plot kept me guessing as to whodunit and my guess about whodunit changed as the story progressed. Oddly, perhaps, I didn't like any of the characters and the frequent references to/scenes about sex between the main husband and wife were off-putting for some reason. I enjoyed the writing style putting the action and relationships forward rather than focusing on extraneous description or making things too complicated in order to mislead the reader. However, the exception to that was the very end. I would have liked it better without the final reveal, which didn't seem necessary and pushed the story a bit beyond believable. I received a free copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest review via LibraryThing giveaways. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I enjoyed the plot and found myself eager to solve the mystery. The characters were very hard to connect with. The main character, Nicole, made a lot of strange decisions. Emotions seemed out of place or over the top from all the characters. Regardless, the story was still good and I would still recommend the book. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Didn't see this one coming. Check out Gayle Brown's "A Deadly Game" if you want to screw up your sleep cycle!Nicole has the dream life--an attentive husband, an empty nest with her son Kyle attending college in the same town, and a killer workout routine at the gym. But her life takes a chilling turn when Kyle becomes a person of interest after a local college student disappears. Nicole, torn between trust and doubt, embarks on a journey--one she's not qualified to take--to uncover the truth. As her actions turn desperate and even unethical, she faces a moral dilemma that challenges the core of her beliefs. Gayle Brown's debut is stunning! If a game has an infinite number of outcomes, you'll have to go "infinite plus one" to guess her wild ending! This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. This novel has a good plot but I felt like the main character, Nicole, made so many poor decisions, it became almost comical. She didn’t really read as an unreliable character but more as an insecure wife and mother who made the worst possible choice at every turn. The ending was somewhat predictable and overall, it just fell a bit short for me. no reviews | add a review
