A review by panicatthebookstore
The Murder Game by Carrie Doyle

4.0

Like Chase was sent to a boarding school for rich kids after he escaped his kidnappers. Everyone assumed he'd be safe there. But one night, he and his best friend Oscar sneak out to meet up with a couple girls. They hear someone in the woods where they're hiding and run back to their rooms. Only that person is found dead the next day. Now the school doesn't seem so safe. The police seem to think Oscar is the murderer, which leaves Luke to prove it wasn't him. And now the real killer  wants to stop him before he becomes a hero again. 

This was a fast-paced, fun YA thriller. It definitely felt like it was aimed at a younger audience so I felt a little too old for this one. However, it was a quick easy read. It was a little predictable, but it was enjoyable. I did feel like there was a lot of build up for a very rushed ending. This would be a great book for teens dipping their toes into the thriller genre.
