—Reader review for The Killing Game

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In the impeccable suburb of Barren Pines, uniform houses and manicured lawns conceal the imperfect truths and deadly secrets of its residents' lives.

Lila Lawson's covert affair with the town's adored fitness trainer ends in tragedy when his sudden death leaves the community reeling—and Lila suspecting foul play.

As she delves into the mystery, she must also confront the sinister murmurs painting her as a woman scorned, capable of deadly deeds.

With each step closer to the truth, Lila must navigate a labyrinth of lies and face the possibility that her love might not have been an accident. But in Barren Pines, nothing is as suffocating as silence—or as dangerous as the truth.
