Work detailsHour Game by David Baldacci (2004)
None. I couldn't finish this. I got into the second chapter and the characters were just too cheesy and contrived. I have rarely given up on a book, but I couldn't stick it out with this one. (  )  Chefbexter | Apr 12, 2013 |  He's copying famous serial killers and the game has just begun. A woman is found murdered in the woods. It seems like a simple case but it soon escalates into a terrible nightmare. Someone is replicating the killing styles of the most infamous murderers of all time. No one knows this criminal's motives...or who will die next. Two ex-Secret Service agents, Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, have been hired to defend a man's innocence in a burglary involving an aristocratic, dysfunctional family. Then a series of secrets leads the partners right into the frantic hunt that is confounding even the FBI. Now King and Maxwell are playing the Hour Game, uncovering one horrifying revelation after another and putting their lives in danger. For the closer they get to the truth, the closer they get to the most shocking surprise of all. krushkelsey | Nov 14, 2011 | excellent book about Michelle Maxwell and Sean King - they are trying to find the murderer who is pretending to be a serial killer. A number of twists - very enjoyable. (  ) afarrington | Aug 20, 2011 | The reason I only gave this a two and a half star rating, is that I use the ratings for my own personal quick guide to my reactions to what I read. This book was not a bad read, and may perfectly appeal to other readers, but my tastes do not run to the serial type of killers. I felt the mystery was sound, with several viable suspects and clues to follow. I liked the main characters, though again, my tastes run more to the light side. I had issues with the narrator, trying to do a woman's voice with a slight lisp grates on my soul. Otherwise, he was a good reader. (  ) MrsLee | Jul 30, 2011 | Pretty good book, I like anything by David Baldacci, but this was a long, complicated story. There were multiple murders by a serial killer and then a body made to look like the serial killer's victim, but was killed by someone else. It was hard to keep it all straight while I was reading and I'm still a little confused....The story was about a rich, disfunctional family with affairs, lies, and secrets and one son's revenge for his brother who died from lack of medical treatment just to save the family embarrassment.

It's hard not to notice that the majority of fictional serial killers are cut from the same mold. When David Baldacci wrote Hour Game, he went out of his way to create a murderous original. Read this Amazon.com
