"A Dangerous Game", by Mandy Robotham



In the 1950’s the city of London is vibrant once again.

This story brings Dexie Dexter an officer in the London Metropolitan Police presently stuck intervening in domestics cases when she is teamed up with ex Nazi, Harri Schroder, from Hamburg police. They clicked immediately and when Harri was tasked with hunting down, a Nazi war criminal. Joining him was Dexie and soon they set on a dangerous hunt for this shadowy figure….and the fun is on….enjoy.

Mandy Robotham is a stellar author. Her stories are well-written, powerful, intense, very suspenseful and historical fact-based of course to make the reading enjoyable she also uses her creative mind for our pleasure. In her latest she not only touches the hunt for Nazi war criminals but also dabbles beautifully in WW11 post war London, the Cold War as well as setting her story during the Great Smog that paralysed this bustling metropolis.

What an engaging story this turned out to be. Following Harri and Dex on their harrowing mission filled with twists and turns just kept me glued to every words. I couldn’t help but rooting for them wanting so much for them to succeed. A real page turner it turned out to be.

Well-said and well-done once again. “A Dangerous game” is a winner no doubt…

My thanks to Avon Books UK and Netgalley for this ARC.
