A Game of Lies
by Clare Mackintosh
“Reality TV is the modern-day equivalent of taking your knitting to an execution.”
When viewers of the latest hit reality show tune in every week, they’re looking for a bit of drama — not a contestant disappearing from the secluded compound. The show must go on, but behind the scenes Detective Ffion Morgan knows there’s something bigger at play. Seven secrets, seven suspects, and seven alibis — but one of them is lying. Now Ffion has to catch a killer before it’s too late.
We had our first triple-digit temperatures this month; summer is officially here, which means it’s time to break out the brain candy reading! A Game of Lies has all the things my little murderino heart loves: mystery, suspense, a smart but flawed main character, even a furry sidekick. I also appreciated how Mackintosh leaned into the complexities of our feelings about reality TV. This is the second in a series, but it didn’t hurt my enjoyment — in fact, the glimpses of the relationship drama covered in the first book made me glad I didn’t start from the beginning.
This is a perfect summer read if you’re looking for a straightforward mystery/thriller.
