Our view

“Hour Game” is the second “King and Maxwell” thriller, a dark murder investigation for a partnership that has found its feet. The story resumes some months after “Split Second”, with the two investigators settled into working together. Some readers find the opening slow and weighed down by backstory. At close to five hundred pages, it is a substantial read for followers of the pair.
