About this ebook

In the vein of the Reese's Book Club x Hello Sunshine Book Club pick The Other Woman, Sandie Jones’s heart-pounding new novel The Blame Game will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

Games can be dangerous. But blame can be deadly.

As a psychologist specializing in domestic abuse, Naomi has found it hard to avoid becoming overly invested in her clients’ lives. But after helping Jacob make the decision to leave his wife, Naomi worries that she’s taken things too far. Then Jacob goes missing, and her files on him vanish. . . .

But as the police start asking questions about Jacob, Naomi’s own dark past emerges. And as the truth comes to light, it seems that it’s not just her clients who are in danger.

Ratings and reviews

The cunningly crafted storylines prickled with angst and taut deception and tended to race across my kindle at an ever-increasing pace. I found myself picking up speed and reading faster and faster to keep up with the action, which may have singed the little pea in my brain as it rattled in overdrive while assimilating clues and building theories. I wasn’t able to remove my shoulders from my ears until the very last page. Sandie Jones is a devious minx.

I did enjoy this story overall. Naomi had a big heart, but it got her into trouble big time. Someone set out to frame her. The story was slow to start, became a little confusing, and took a little time to figure everyone out, but I needed to read to the end to see who the real perpetrator was. I was a little surprised with the ending but liked it very much. This is my unsolicited review.
