Publisher's summary

A woman is found murdered in the woods with a very special watch on her wrist, and what seemed a simple case soon escalates into a nightmare. The criminal methods of some of the most infamous killers of all time are being replicated by a new predator who stalks and strikes victims with a cunning brilliance. No one can understand the murderer's motives or who the next victim will be.

Drawn into this violent affair are two Secret Service agents turned private investigators, Sean King and Michelle Maxwell. Both have been hired to prove a man's innocence in a domestic burglary involving an aristocratic, if dysfunctional, family. Soon, stunning secrets will lead the partners into the middle of a frantic search for a killer unlike any they've confronted before.

As the Hour Game barrels forward, Sean and Michelle face a macabre puzzle and uncover one horrifying revelation after another. Nearing the truth, they will find that their own lives are in danger. And then they're hit with the biggest surprise of all. When you play the Hour Game, you have to play to win. But time is running out...for all of them.

In Hour Game, best-selling master storyteller David Baldacci has created his most mind-blowing and satisfying thriller yet.

Excellent Story; Average Narration

What did you love best about Hour Game?

I enjoyed the further insight into King and Maxwell. The story line was different and held my interest.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Scott Brick?

I would have preferred Ron Mclarty.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, but that type of reaction would be quite rare for me.

Any additional comments?

Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Very good, not great

The murders are truly horrifying. The action is terrific. Love Scott Brick, the narrator. But a few too many characters and complicated relationships. It is the energy between Sean and Michelle that keeps it all going, and the romantic tension introduced through other love interests is an interesting twist. I'd give it a B plus overall.

Long and deep

I have mixed feelings about this one with multiple murders. As an Audible book set speed faster to get through it. never thought it would end. But multiple endings made the end interesting. I guess in end just too much blood and gore but the that away story was fairly good.
