Game the sequel to i hunt killers5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() I liked Connie and Howie in the previous book, and the crime solving dynamic they had, but in this entry, with Jasper off in New York, there chapters feel a little tacked on. The biggest complaint though is with the side characters. The story of the killings also, despite being quite clever, gets pretty convoluted and more 'out there' as the story goes on, turning Billy into a campy villain instead of the evil serial killer from the first book. I think my main gripe with the story was that Jasper actually being in New York for the majority of the novel, it introduced too many new characters in the new police department meaning that we missed out on the bond and relationship between Jasper and the Sherif. ![]() ![]() I won't go into spoilers but just like the last book, a new serial killer is introduced in New York that could possibly somehow be connected to Billy, resulting in the FBI/NYPD asking for Jasper's help in getting inside this new killer's head. This entry picks up not long after the events of the first novel, with Japer Dent in his home town and Billy Dent on the loose after escaping from prison. I also have to point out though, that it just really isn't up to the standard of 'I Hunt Killers', which was disappointing. I read it in two sittings and was never bored. I'd like to start this review by stating that 'Game', the second entry in the Jasper Dent series, is a good book. ![]()
