In this third installment of Kill Game by Adam Nicholls and Jennifer May, Detective Bella Cruz will assert herself as a police officer and a woman refusing to be bullied by her male boss even though the male boss was also her Dad. Salem Ross wanted her to play some sort of final game and she was going to do it. She left partner Kyle and Boss/Dad Brooks no choice.
Meanwhile, Salem increased the ante by saying if there was no meeting with Cruz he would take his next victims from a nearby girl’s school. Crus finally agreed to meet Ross at the “Duckpond,” the same place she had been held as a girl. Police officials agreed to let Bella meet with Salem if she wore a wire. Bella assured them she would turn the tables on Ross in their meeting. She would then arrest him.
Now that everyone knew where Salem was, it seemed easy to simply storm his location and make an arrest. But Salem had another backup plan which I will not discuss here. (Spoiler). Bella did go to Salem’s location. She did wear a wire, so numbers of police officials could listen to her and decide when to make a frontal assault on the abandoned farm. The only thing to worry about was Salem’s backup plan.
This almost fits into the genre of cozy mystery. There are horrible implied crimes against the very young, but they are not described in graphic detail. Bella and her boss are father and daughter. And finally, amid climactic conclusion events, Bella realizes that she really thinks her partner Kyle is a potential partner outside the police station. Kyle, of course, has long desired a relationship but has been to shy to pursue it even through innuendo. Bella, strong protagonist in love and war, might resolve these conflicts in this final installment.
Or Nicholls and May could tie everything together in a novel that would combine these installments with a few more chapters. To find out Salem’s Plan B and the resolution to an implied budding romance, read these short installments (and maybe a later novel). I gave this 70-page installment four stars, the same as what I gave Parts One and Two. Each of these was a pleasant read. If they weren’t fun, I would not have read all three parts.

Kill Game Part 3 final Serial Killer Thriller Written by Adam Nicholls
Bella is not giving in and she’s going to stop him forever!
Twenty years ago, the missing girl emerged from a basement in the arms of a young detective. He promised to become her guardian and keep her safe. Now, he may have to break that promise.
Bella Cruz grew up to become Portland's most recognizable detective, but it made her too easy to find. When the killer from her past sees her on the news, he endeavors to kill countless civilians until Bella surrenders herself. While Bella makes her decision, more innocents must die, forcing her back into her deepest, darkest nightmares, where even her father can't protect her. The Portland Predator is close, and there's nothing she can do but give in to his disturbing demands. Kill Game thrusts thrilling twists at you from every angle, forcing you to keep reading for just a little longer.
What did I like? I loved every minute of this 3-part edition of Kill Game. The characters were so awesome, and I lost a ton of sleep. Good thing that I’m retired and don’t have to get up for work or anything. This rewrite of the original is just over the top. So much more than the first time around. I didn’t think at the beginning that I was going to like it being split up like this but after I got going, I found that I really liked it.
What will you like? I guess there is no other way to put it, but this is an explosive book that will grip you on the first page of part one and will not let go till the last page of part three. The characters are over the top, the action is explosive, the twists and turns are riveting, and it explodes with emotion. I cried and laughed and just wanted to kill the bad guy! I am not a very emotional person, but this book really got to me. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. The authors did an excellent job….. Bravo!!!!!!

Excellent
I really enjoyed these books. They were so action packed and full of twists and turns. I honestly could not put them down. I wish they would have been a little longer.
