jdcorley 's review for:

Dead Game by Michael Avallone
3.5
adventurous dark fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Although Noon is in fine form and the crime is a particularly pulp caper, there's a gruesomeness and cruelty at work here that keeps you from really having fun. It can't escape notice how the women act and are portrayed either. Not Avallones finest moment.
