A review by sheenah684
The Murder Game by Julie Apple, Catherine McKenzie

3.0

I received this book from NetGalley to read and review.

The Murder Game is the novel that is referenced in Fractured by Catherine McKenzie. I enjoyed Fractured so I was looking forward to reading the book that propelled Julie Apple to fame and fortune. It is about a prosecutor who is facing off against her former boyfriend who is defending a friend from law school. While The Murder Game drew me in to the world of Meredith and her friends, I couldn't help but be frustrated by the ending. It wasn't the plot that was the issue, but the brevity of it. I felt like the main question was answered, the plot twist revealed, and then it was over. There was no really satisfying resolution. Other than that, the book was an interesting and quick read.
