This reminded me somewhat of Adrian McGinty’s The Chain. You receive a call or text or email to inform you that someone knows your secret and unless you want to be ruined, you’ll have to do what they say. Once you agree – because you will agree – it’s time to play the Game. So far, so akin to a thriller, but throw in a police hunt to track down the culprit and a detective who is willing to above and beyond the line of duty and you have an intense drama that you feel compelled to finish. Plus, I felt on edge throughout, like someone was watching me as I read – that feeling of being creeped out persists and makes for all the better reading.
