Game over. submitted by Flying Sheep on August 23, 2012, 7:39am The Name of the Game was Murder is, without a doubt, my favorite mystery book at the time of writing. The first couple of chapters are hard to get through and are incredibly dull but if you can force yourself through the first two or three chapters, the book begins to go uphill and gets very enjoyable. The plot is incredible and kept me guessing until the end. My favorite thing about this book is all the twists and turns the plot takes. Right when you think you have it all figured out, something crazy happens and you're back at square one. An excellant read I would strongly reccomend.
