The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver

2.0

Pretty cookie-cutter take on a consultant/investigator who works parallel to law enforcement premise.  This one is the standard kidnapping plot and the main character is only slightly interesting, typically only when he is envoking his 'unique' trait of calculating the probabilities of each conclusion in his head.  Writing seems unnecessarily long sentence to sentence, for whatever that means.  Gets a little better when the story widens and the killer's M.O. is seemingly revealed, but then disappointed that the true motive and events were so basic. Still not sure what The Never Game actually is or refers to.
