About this ebook

The greater the Evil, the deadlier the game…

When a rapist is found mutilated in a brutal attack, Detective Kim Stone and her team are called in to bring a swift resolution. But, as more vengeful killings come to light, it soon becomes clear that there is someone far more sinister at work.

With the investigation quickly gathering momentum, Kim finds herself exposed to great danger and in the sights of a lethal individual undertaking their own twisted experiment.

Up against a sociopath who seems to know her every weakness, for Detective Stone, each move she makes could be deadly. As the body count starts to mount, Kim will have to dig deeper than ever before to stop the killing. And this time - it’s personal.

Absolutely unputdownable, nail-bitingly tense and with a twist that will put your jaw on the floor. If you love Karin Slaughter, Val McDermid or Robert Dugoni, this will keep you flipping through the pages long into the night, and desperate to read the rest in this multi-million-copy, international bestselling series.

Watch out for more from Detective Kim Stone

Ratings and reviews

Evil Games book two in Ms Marson's fabulous DI Stone series was a solid and very readable story. That had me engaged from the start. Yet, it didn't get my heart pounding or thrill me as much as the other three books I've read in this series have, mainly because I didn't find Dr Thorne a chilling or exciting adversary. But I did enjoy the twists from the different cases and the final confrontation between Kim and Alex. Furthermore, the character development was on point, particularly in the case of ballsy, blunt Detective Inspector Kim Stone. Would recommend.

I have loved every moment of this roller-coaster ride. The game of cat and mouse between good and evil isn't a new story line but was done with beauty, respect and truth that leaves you hopeful in the humanity still found in the lost and broken parts of humanity! This has been my favorite read !

I love the Kim Stone books. She's such a great character and the storyline are always great. I never get bored like I do with some books being overly descriptive. Read it, you won't be disappointed
