SOON TO BE A MAJOR BBC DRAMA

It was only meant to be a game . . .

None of us ever agreed on the exact beginning.

Was it when we started drawing the chalk figures, or when they started to appear on their own?

Was it the terrible accident?

Or when they found the first body?

This is one of those books that is packed with a lot of suspense, mystery and thrills. If you’re looking for a well written story that will redefine the mystery/thriller genre; then this is the book for you.

It’s been awhile since I read a book this engaging; the constant (yet consistent) twists and turns had me guessing and re-guessing the ending; and yet, I was still surprised about a few things in this book.

C.J. Tudor did an excellent job with this one; I highly recommend it!
