Hour Game (Sean King & Michelle Maxwell #2)
And the HOUR 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 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.
I guess doing a recurring thing as a hobby can seem pointless. Not reading, but reviewing. The Hour Game, though a book I enjoyed amply, cannot give rise to an insightful review. Also I'm trying to make it the last book read this year, instead of the penultimate one. The book bears the signature of its author. Only I can't decide if that's beneficial all the way through. Make no mistake, The Hour Game is, by high standards, a paint by numbers book. From the way I see it, it has a great heart.

The criminal methods of some of the most infamous killers of all time are being replicated by a new predator who stalks and strikes victims with a cunning brilliance. No one can understand the murderer's motives or who the next
Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are hired to help prove that Junior Deaver did not break into and burglarize the Battle family's estate. But as they are questioning the Battle family, the Police Chief asks them to look into a murder. The victim is made to look like a casualty of the Zodiac Killer. Soon more bodies are turning up, each made to look like the victim of a famous serial killer. As King and Maxwell's original case becomes entwined with the serial murders, they begin to question just
So many characters! So many murders! So many mysteries! This book had me in the story from page one right until the end. The plot and the buildup was so so good and the way the characters intersected and the way every story and person had another deeper layer of darkness has very interesting. The reveal in the end wherein the killer is ........... was a bit expected if not completely surprising. Still it touched a lot of points on intentions and lost love and family and desires and in the end
This started on a pace to be a 4-star book, but it just went on and on, probably at least 100 pages more than it should have. Then the last plot twist was just too much over the top, unbelievable and very unsatisfying. I think Baldacci faked himself out. King & Maxwell are on the trail of a serial killer and the plot twists and turns like a snake in a hot frying pan. Recommended only to King & Maxwell fans.

2 not particularly impressed ★★✩✩✩ Would recommend to nobody. It was dreadful. It made the boring stuff I had to do even more boring. ⤐Overall. As I have said in one of my updates already, this book wouldn't have made it past the DNF line if it weren't for the fact that I listened to it as an audiobook while doing really blunt tasks at work. It seems ironic to mee that especially crime novels and thrillers have a hard job exciting me, given suspense is their major tool to catch the reader'sI guess doing a recurring thing as a hobby can seem pointless.
