Summary: Suspenseful and Surprising
Review: The Killing Game is an awesome thriller. Eve Duncan's child, Bonnie, was murdered 10 years ago by a serial killer. The killer refused to reveal the location of Bonnie's body before he was executed. Now some bones have been uncovered, one of which may be Bonnie. Eve wants to use her skills in facial reconstruction to find out if this could be her girl. In the meantime, a serial killer has set his sights on Eve. Bored and unable to experience emotion, he has set himself a game playing with Eve's emotions by leaving her little pieces of bones and making creepy phone calls. He wants to drive Eve practically out of her mind with grief about Bonnie before he finally kills her. While trying to find this killer, and discover if these new bones belong to Bonnie, Eve also has man problems. Her old friend, Joe, is a cop who got rich through inheritance. He loves her and wants her for himself. Meanwhile, Logan, a rich computer tycoon, also wants her. Eve doesn't know what she wants. I found this part of the story a little much for my tastes. Being torn between two nice, kind, good-looking, rich men is a problem that all women should have. : ) The Killing Game is well written, fast paced, and full of suspense. I was actually surprised at the end when I learned who the killer was. This is a book well worth it's time and price.

Summary: First time Johansen reader
Review: The Killing Game is the first Johansen novel I have ever read. It was a little rough getting started and throughout the book I would get confused as to who was talking and have to reread some sections just to get it straight. Because of this, it took me a good while to get through this book. That being said, I really got into it and enjoyed the mystery and suspense. I almost didn't want to finish the book as I looked forward to reading a chapter or two on the stair stepper. I would recommend this book to readers who have the time for and who enjoy leisure reading.
