4.0
4* The End of the Game is the 4th in Holly Watt’s fantastic series featuring Casey Benedict, investigative reporter. Each of the books would read equally well as a stand alone but the series is worth reading in it’s entirety.
A trip to the racing at Ascot inadvertently leads Casey into the murky world of gambling and match fixing. As Casey, Miranda and her colleagues from The Post delve further, they uncover an intricate plot involving hedge funds, murder and blackmail.
Holly Watt is a master of smart suspense and building a smart but pacey thriller. The story romps along and keeps the reader guessing throughout. The characters are fantastic and the investigative journalist angle lends a new angle to the genre.
Queen of crime fiction, Val McDermid, plucked Holly Watt’s first book in this series as a debut of the year in 2019. The End of the Game is her best yet.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bloomsbury for an ARC.
