Child's Play by Angela Marsons

4.0

Thank you Net Galley for this eBook in exchange for an honest review.
**
Child's Play is the 11th book in the D.I. Kim Stone series; and the first book by Angela Marsons that I've read. While it is a standalone book, I believe reading Marsons previous books on Kim Stone will give a background to herself as an investigator as well as her team.

Child's play starts off with a brutal murder in an abandoned park. The victim is posed on a swing set, on first look it would look like a woman sitting on a child's swing set. Upon closer inspection you will see she's been stabbed and has been posed with barb wire wrapped around her.
As DI Kim's team starts to investigate the murder of Belinda Evans they are met with quiet a different story than first thought. As their investigation continues it will lead Kim & team to the world of child genius's and a tournament stemming back decades.
But Belinda's murder isn't the only death linked to this case. By the end there is 3 deaths all tied back to this tournament. Will Kim Stone's team find the murderer before he or she strikes again? Or will there be another death for them to investigate?

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Kim Stones team and cannot wait to read more of her books in this series :)
