Playing Nice by JP Delaney

5.0

Okay so did the author intend for the reader to know when the story is heading? Usually in the suspense genre that is a bad thing, right? Well, not only do I think it was intentional, I think it was done so the tension built up as the reader watched all the parts of the trap fall in to place! I visibly shook my head at points and even mumbled a few "ut oh"s when something particularly likely to come back to bite a character in the bee-hind happened. The story is told from two points of view and I kept waiting for a third one to pop up. I am somewhat sad that it didn't. But it also wasn't needed as the ones used along with various police report excerpts, texts, emails, etc, did a terrific job of developing all the characters involved. Oh what a mess! Oh what a wonderful mess! This one kept me up past my bedtime!

Thanks to NetGalley and Random House for a copy of the book. This review is my own opinion.
