Their Wicked Games

Detectives Kane and Alton, Book 19

By: D.K. Hood

Narrated by: Patricia Rodriguez

As she scans the dark pine forest, the unmistakable sound of a twig snapping breaks the silent stillness. She isn’t alone. She begins to run but she hardly has time to scream before her world goes black....

On a secluded path near Black Rock Falls, three bodies lie bloodied and still—the arrows that killed them removed, and polished penny coins carefully placed on their frozen eyes. When Sheriff Jenna Alton and Deputy David Kane are called in, they are shocked to recognize the hallmarks of an infamous serial killer. But he’s been in prison for 10 years.

Jenna is convinced that the attacker knew the trio and lured them into the forest. But who would want to harm three innocent teenagers? And how does a convicted murderer fit in? Jenna knows she must question James Earl Stafford—one of America’s most dangerous killers—if she’s to save more innocent young lives.

With Stafford refusing to give answers, Jenna is convinced that a copycat killer is stalking her small town. And her worst fears are realized when a local fisherman discovers another teenager’s lifeless body floating in the shallows of a local watering hole with the same penny coins covering her eyes.

As parents panic for their children’s lives, Jenna works around the clock to track down the murderer, but little does she know that one of her own team is now being watched. Can Jenna play the killer’s wicked game and prevent another life from being taken?

Perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh, and Kendra Elliot, Their Wicked Games is a nail-biting crime thriller from USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author D.K. Hood that will have you hooked from the very first chapter.

Each Kane and Alton book can be listened to as part of the series or as a stand-alone.

Great!

The story line was so good - another great addition to the series. The ending was such a surprise! I can't wait for the next book. The narrator is also very good.

This one kept me on my toes!

If you’re a fan of Sheriff Jenna Alton and team, you know that killers flock to Black Rock Falls, where the fishing and hunting is great…be it for wildlife or humans! This time the team is after an especially brutal team of killers. Lots of mind games abound with a master manipulator behind bars.
The story is fast paced and action packed and we can’t wait for the bad guys to be caught! The epilogue is a great teaser to the next book…can’t wait.

The author got her groove back

This release has gone back to the foundation of the series. A good centralizes mystery that leaves each chapter a cliffhanger. This leaves me to finish the book in less than 2 days, but it's always the prolog that knocks your socks off. Leaving you to anticipation the next release.

Love this series

I love the Caine and Alton series. They are just the right blend of suspense, romance, and wittiness. I can’t wait I for the next in the series. Nineteen and going strong!

OMG! The narrator

I couldn't finish it... the narrator is just horrible! She is exasperating and it made the story boring
