As a big fan of the Lincoln Rhyme series by Jefferey Deaver was I curious to see how THE NEVER GAME, the first book in Deaver's new series, would turn out. Would this book appeal to just as much as the Lincoln Rhyme books did? In this book, are we introduced to Colter Shaw, an expert at tracking people down, thanks to his upbringing with a father who uprooted the whole family to live off the grid. Now, he's been contacted by a man in Silicon Valley whose daughter has gone missing. It soon turns out that this is just the first missing case he has to deal with in Silicon Valley.
VoirFilms I must say that Colton Shaw, his past, the mystery of his father's death, and his interesting upbringing is the highlight of this book. The case was interesting on its own, but what really kept my attention throughout this book was Shaw's unique family, and also that his father was perhaps not completely paranoid as we are initially lead to believe. He was definitely odd, and he died in a mysterious way. As for the case, it was intriguing to read about Silicon Valley and the gaming community, which played a big part in this novel, too. The mysterious woman that Shaw meets also makes the story more engaging. THE NEVER GAME is a great new book in a brand new series and I recommend the book warmly!
