Really good book - better than the last Private book. This book takes place in London, and centers around the 2012 summer Olympics. Will be fun to watch them in real time this coming summer - just hope that in real life there is not nearly so much murder and mayhem surrounding the games!

This is another in the Private series and was the second book based out of the London office and takes place at the London Olympics.



I enjoyed this book, I thought the villain was unexpected and preferred this protagonist to the original cast of Private London.

Mindless, formulaic, very contrived, standard serial fare. Oh well - mindless was what I needed.

Would have been a Four star review until the CHEEEEEEEEEEEEESY predictable ending. Liked the characters and the overall story. Villain was a surprise to me. I have started Private London and am confused why the books are in the “order” they are on Goodreads. Why is Private Games considered book three. Seems like Private London should have been third. I enjoy reading series in order so we will see.

This book was very good. I hope that none of the athletes chose this as airplane reading on their way to London.

Part of me didn't want to like this book - blatant capitalization on the games - but it was a great read.
