Elite Guardians #3.
There is nothing that helps the making of successful video games better than filming the hunting of real fleeing prey with cross-bow bolts and digitalising the action. Recipe: Drug Maddy McKay and Detective Quinn Holcombe, and take them to an isolated private island when you can hunt them down as they flee, a hundred cameras catching the action and mics to hear them scream…
Detective Quinn and his team are sniffing out clues to the whereabouts of a killer. But there is a list of who has to die and in what order.
Being the third in a series in which these two main characters feature is not a setback to starting here, as I did. What was unusual, and a little odd for a crime-fiction addict was the solid romantic thread, as well as the spiritual thread. It felt out of place in that Maddy seemed to almost be making it a condition of their relationship that Holcombe admit to needing some prayer and faith in his life.

Still, I enjoyed it and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tale to thriller addicts, regardless.
