Book Description
The "dark, twisted, thought-provoking" (#1 New York Times bestseller Tami Hoag) international bestseller--first in the new series featuring Detective Helen Grace.

Two people are abducted, imprisoned, and left with a gun. As hunger and thirst set in, only one walks away alive.

It's a game more twisted than any Detective Helen Grace has ever seen. If she hadn't spoken with the shattered survivors herself, she almost wouldn't believe them.

Helen is familiar with the dark sides of human nature, including her own, but this case--with its seemingly random victims--has her baffled. But as more people go missing, nothing will be more terrifying than when it all starts making sense....

My Review
This book had great potential because the plot was very unique. It was an easy read with short chapters but the book was a little longer than it needed to be. The main character, Helen, was not very believable to me and at times not very likable. She should have figured out the killer sooner than she did. There also were quite a few unsavory gross scenes they were absolutely not necessary. I like thrillers but this was a little overboard. I don't think I'll be reading the rest of the series as I found this book too unpleasant to continue.
