Robert Dugoni's "Her Deadly Game" is brilliant, engaging and thrilling. Keera Duggan is in recovery mode after a failed relationship that compromised her professional career as a prosecutor. Her only way out is returning to her family and working in her family's legal business. However, this solution comes with strings attached to looming and strained family issues with themes of addiction. Keera is cut from the same cloth as her father, the legendary Patrick "The Irish Brawler" Duggan and is out to prove herself as a worthy lawyer. The only thing is that Anne La Russa's case is a criminal one, her first time as a defence lawyer. The stakes have never been higher.
I loved and devoured this book for a couple of reasons. First, the plot was intriguing, and the pacing was fantastic. Robert is a highly skilled storyteller who lures you in from page one. The time jumps flow seamlessly, and the sub-plots relating to chess and the crossroads of decision-making from our secondary characters are beautifully presented and delivered. Multiple characters serve a purpose and complement the plot well. If you're a fan of the law, suspense, crime, court cases and thriller, do NOT skip this book. This is not my last book by this author!
