Scott Kershaw
Scott Kershaw lives in Lincolnshire, in a Victorian cottage that was formerly ruled by mice. He likes the crackle of vinyl, the smell of paperbacks, the taste of a stiff drink and the view from a front row barrier. He’s getting too old and heavy for crowd-surfing, but that rarely stops him from trying. His first real love was cinema. His beagle, Darwin, is the one true king of dogs. As a child, Scott believed in monsters. Sometimes he still does. The Game is his debut thriller.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The description of this book had me interested from the start. You get to know about the players selected to play the game and backgrounds of each character. There were a few 'why don't you just do that' moments. I didnt guess who was behind it all nor did I guess why. I found it very entertaining and I thought the ending was the best payback. Brilliant debut
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I tried, I really did. I could only make half way through this jumbled mess. Giving this book one star is generous but I had to to write this review and save you. The author didn’t create a single likable character and there are many. To compare this book to I Am Pilgrim is practically criminal. Do yourself a favor, pass on this one and actually get” I Am Pilgrim” by Terry Hayes and listen to one of the best books I’ve read in years, masterfully narrated the incomparable Scott Brick.
