Review: Hour Game

Hour Game (Sean King & Michelle Maxwell, #2)Hour Game by David Baldacci
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The former secret service agents, King and Maxwell, have teamed up to run a private detective agency. After a murdered woman is found, there is soon another murder and things just continue. After realizing they have serial killer on the loose, King and Maxwell get deputized and help the authorities find the killer. King eventually pieces it all together, but not after a lot of people get killed.

I like the characters and Baldacci builds the mystery and suspense well. Like the Split Second, though, things get complicated; there are a lot of characters and plot pieces to keep track of. Annoyingly, a lot of King's detecting takes place off screen, so it is hard to put things together yourself.

Still, it's a fast-paced, well-told story with interesting characters.
