The Murder Game was well-written and suspenseful! I tried to read Fractured afterwards, but could not get into it. Such an interesting dynamic, though, having a character write a book. :)jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-57221940803179753842016-10-11T17:03:45.861-05:002016-10-11T17:03:45.861-05:00I might like this one even more than Fractured.

I've heard of authors writing books within books in cases like this, but never actually a murder mystery novel written by a character in another book.

It is certainly compulsive reading; there is an air of secrecy from the beginning. It is clever and entertaining!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-80210746033357107692016-10-06T22:21:58.957-05:002016-10-06T22:21:58.957-05:00Sounds good, Jenclair.

I do want to read it sometime. Something about the plot caught my interest, though there is enough vagueness about what happens in the blurb and people's reviews to make me curious about how entertaining it is.
