The Never Game

Not usually into mysteries but this novel kept me interested. I even went and bought the other three novels in the series which is a ringing endorsement.

I found this book very very suspenseful and fast moving.

Das Buch war leider abgerissen, nicht wie beschrieben, aber der Verkäufer hat der ganze Betrag erstattet. War gar kein Problem.

姿も仕草も心意気もカッコイイ主人公Colter Shaw はいっときもじっとしていられない性質で、次々に移動して難事件を解決します。まるで、車椅子生活を余儀なくされているリンカーン・ライムの代わりに世界を飛び回っているかのようです。二人の静と動の対照が鮮やかです。共通点は、どちらも刑事ではないことと、胸の奥に秘めた英雄的な正義感。原書で読むと、無駄のないハイテンポな描写によってサスペンスが倍増されます。日頃ゲームというものに全く興味のない私でも充分楽しめました。

I am a fan of Jeffrey Deaver. His books are always very interesting, the story line captivating, the twist and turn happen on every page. This book introduces a new "investigator" Colter Shaw , an expert tracker with a forensic mind perfect for solving the most unusual cases. The murders and abductions are all based on the structure of specific video games where an investigator can find the clues to solve the cases he is investigating. The story line is very good but it would be appreciated more if the reader had an interest for video games. I don't so a few times I had to go back and re-read the explanation of how certain video games operate to make sense of the action taking place in the story.I hope Colter Shaw will come back to investigate in a book without so much "Internet".
