Grayson Thibodeaux’s
company, Game’s On You, designs psychological games to test people
sometimes for a hiring decision, sometimes for team building. The
company is so good that even Grayson’s ex-wife Anna Belle’s
company hires them to build a game determine which of four
contestants should win a promotion.
The fact that Anna
Belle is one of the players disturbs Grayson, but his partner, Colton
York convinces him to do it because money is good. The only problem
is that Anna Belle dies during the game and Grayson is the prime
suspect.
Because the murder
happens early in the book, the focus is on finding the killer. The
detectives, Brandon and Danielle, use interviews to determine what
happened. This is not an action packed story but the use of
interviews gives us a chance to get to know all the suspects.
Personally, I enjoy this type of mystery. As the clues come out, it
gives you a chance to play detective.
The characters are
good. Grayson is conflicted. He loves his wife, but she treated him
badly in the divorce, and he’s having trouble forgiving her. Pam,
his assistant, is smart and somewhat pushy, but she’s exactly what
he needs to keep going. Brandon is a good character with sturdy
faith. I liked the way he wouldn’t take the easy answer of
Grayson’s guilt. His partner, Danielle, is not likable. She has a
grudge against Grayson and it clouds her judgment.
My favorite
character was Monique, Anna Belle’s mother. She is on Grayson’s
side and talks intelligently to him about her daughter. I liked her
strong faith and that she was able to express her feelings so
clearly.
I recommend this
book. If you like psychological mysteries, this is a good one.
I received this book
from Barbour Publishing for this review.
