Game of Lies reacquainted me with the characters in The Last Party, and it was fun to spend time with them again. This entry in the series takes on reality TV shows like Survivor. The author did a good job introducing the contestants and the people behind the scenes of the show Exposure and kept me guessing as to who the murderer was.

I didn't enjoy this entry quite as much as the first book. I get that main character Ffion Morgan is supposed to be a flawed character, but I was disappointed that she makes some too-stupid-to-live decisions in this book (view spoiler). I found her behavior hard to believe given her training.

I enjoyed the bits of Welsh thrown in and the impossible rescue dog Dave. I look forward to book three and I hope that Ffion shows some growth.

I read an advance reader copy from Netgalley.
