Rating:  Summary: Perplexing But Riveting Mystery Review: This is Danielle Girard's second book and it's another book stacked with suspense and intrigue from the outset. The protagonist, police officer Alex Kincaid, inexplicably wakes up in her car after taking sleeping pills to combat insomnia. She has no idea how she came to be there. She later gets a call to attend the scene of a homicide. The scene is the place where she woke up that morning. It gradually becomes clear that she was there around the time of the murder and through a flashback, realises that she has met the victim.This is an enjoyable and at times perplexing mystery that has introduced Alex Kincaid and is, hopefully, just the first of many books featuring her.
Rating:  Summary: A powerful thriller Review: When she awakens, Berkeley rookie police officer Alex Kincaid wonders if she somehow sleep-drove to Yolo Avenue because she is currently in her car not near her home. An insomniac under medicine, Alex races to work bewildered by what happened to her last night. She and her partner Greg Roback soon receive a call to investigate a situation on Yolo Avenue right where she slept last evening. When they arrive, the two cops find murdered attorney William Loefler. Greg finds Alex's earring on the crime scene floor, thinks it just fell off, and returns it to her. However, other evidence mounts that shows Alex was at the scene of the crime around the time the murder occurred. Alex is shocked because he is a stranger who happened to call her name that afternoon before he was killed. Now she must solve a case in which she is the prime suspect. RUTHLESS GAME is a strong police procedural starring an intrepid but clearly bewildered heroine, who cannot remember the night before because of a prescription drug. The story line is fast-paced yet builds to an exciting climax by allowing the police to do their job. Readers will want more novels starring Alex, as Danielle Girard knows how to keep the suspense so high the audience never leaves until the book is finished. Harriet Klausner
