The Friend by Charlie Gallagher
Lethal Game by Charlie Gallagher
I recently discovered a new crime author in Charlie Gallagher and read two of his books in succession.
The first book was “The Friend”, which is the first book in a gripping new series featuruing Detective Joel Norris. A couple’s young daughter attempts to take her own life and the father is approached by a stranger saying he knows who is to blame. Revenge is taken but this starts a terrible game that costs more life’s. Lots of twists and turns follow which will keep you guessing.
The 2nd book in this series is “Lethal Game” and again features Dectective Joel Norris who investigates the death of a young woman, murdered on a quiet country lane. It is soon learnt that the killer is playing a deadly boardgame in real life. The rules are – if you don’t play your family will die, If you lose, you will die.
If you are a fan of Harlan Coben I think you will enjoy these books and like a lot of books I have read recently I can easily seeing them becoming a TV Series.
