THE MURDER GAME is a fun book. Gwen Wilson is a mystery novelist who writes murder games on the side. Much to her surprise she is hired by Lawrence Van Hise to create a game for his seventieth birthday party. Hise was her mother’s boss many years ago when they lived in the Hise mansion where her mother worked as a housekeeper. But as far as Gwen can tell Hise has no idea she is the little girl who used to run around his home. Since when Gwen was a child her mother was accused of stealing from the Hise’s and then supposedly commited suicide, Gwen sees this as a chance to find out the truth behind her mother’s death.

But she gets sidetracked by Hise’s son, Hunter, whom she once had a big crush on. Hunter learns that his father is dieing and doesn’t want Gwen to dig up the painful past, but along the way they begin to have feelings for each other, which further complicates the situation. Gwen continues to dig up many secrets and even finds herself accused of a real murder in the midst of the murder game, pushing her to find the real killer.

THE MURDER GAME is fast paced with numerous twists and turns, throwing in a little romance along the way. This was definitely a fun read.

Here is the first part of our interview with Linda Suzane

SUITE: Tell me a little about your books and what genre they are

LINDA: My passions are murder and mystery, blood and vampires. It has taken me years to discover what I really enjoy writing about. I tried many different things. In 1998, I wrote the first drafts of the Darkhour Vampires. They really captured my soul and I knew I had found the magic combination for me. I have just finished the first book in the series, Bloody Captivity, and am now looking for a publisher. My other interest is murder mystery games. When murder mystery games became popular back in the 1980s, I started writing my own. I turned my experiences into a romantic mystery, The Murder Game. The Murder Game is available as an eBook from . My next book is a combination of all my passions, a real cross-genre. Eyes of Truth is a fantasy mystery with a touch of the supernatural. The Eyes of Truth will be available from February 15th.
