The Killing Game (An Alexa Chase Suspense Thriller—Book 1)

By Kate Bold

THE KILLING GAME (An Alexa Chase Suspense Thriller—Book 1) is the debut novel in a new series by mystery and suspense author Kate Bold.

Alexa Chase, 34, a brilliant profiler in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, was too good at her job. Haunted by all the serial killers she caught, she left a stunning career behind to join the U.S. Marshals. As a Deputy Marshal, Alexa—fit, and as tough as she is brilliant—could immerse herself in a simple career of hunting down fugitives and bringing them to justice.

But when a notorious serial killer escapes from a prison transport, it crosses the jurisdictions of the U.S. Marshals and the FBI’s BAU. The two departments are forced to come together on a new joint task force to hunt down the fugitive serial killer and bring him to justice. Alexa, to her dread, finds herself forced to confront the thing she fears the most—entering a killer’s mind. Doing so again, she knows, may just drag her down for good.

Alexa and her new partner, each territorial, don’t take well to each other. Between their tension and all the clues leading to dead ends and the bodies piling up on the killer’s spree, Alexa knows that she, up against a ticking clock, can’t afford to get this wrong. Especially when she realizes that she herself may be the next target.

To find this diabolical killer, Alexa will have to do what she fears most—enter his twisted mind, before he can strike again. It’s a life-and-death game of cat and mouse, and it’s winner takes all.

But will the darkness swallow her whole?

A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured Deputy Marshal, the ALEXA CHASE series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

Books #2 and #3 in the series—THE KILLING TIDE and THE KILLING HOUR—are also available.

Ratings and reviews

This book is awesome to listen to. I find it helpful each night with the energy, excitement, the way it can pull you in, and how it helps myself fall asleep easily do to one of my health problems. Yet in the time while awake the story in the book is like watching a detective movie in your mind. If you try this book you too may see how the suspense can be good to have. Then if you can try to listen to the others in the collection to truly enjoy this authors work in the series.

I listened to this audiobook on Google Play. The narrator was easy to listen to. He didn't over act the characters. He just presented the story. The story is exciting and well thought out. The escaped serial killer eludes capture and puts Marshall Alexa in danger at every curve. Very entertaining.

it is a great story read by a terrible narrator. I could have definitely enjoyed it more. I muddled through. I generally don't give up on a book due to narration but I am glad I didn't pay money for it.
