The Cheater's Game

Glass and Steele #7

by C.J. Archer

The arrival of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show in London brings trouble. When the sharpshooter who beats Willie at poker is murdered, Matt and India investigate. Willie is convinced the victim cheated, but no one knows how until India discovers his secret - he was a paper magician.

When their list of suspects grows to include a member of the mysterious magic Collector's Club, they uncover a spy. But who is he working for? And what does his employer want?

As danger circles, secrets are revealed, and India struggles to keep her own secret hidden from Matt. But when her grandfather introduces her to a man who can change her life, India must decide if she wants her life to change at all.

(Audiobook) A bit of fluff while I work on errands

[Zen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This one was pretty on par with the rest of the series. Fortunately, the triangle with Prudence is over as it dragged on way too long and did not paint Matt is a favorable light, in my opinion. Now if only Cyclops can get his act together. I think my favorite part of this novel was the return of Chronos. He is a flawed person, but I love him.

Another fun investigation by India and Matt. These two are so cute together. And I loved that Annie Oakley and Wild Bill Hickok made an appearance. Only thing better would’ve been at least a nod of recognition of the racist and evil and money greedy nature and motivations that even created that show.

[Erin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has probably been my least favorite in the series thus far. Which is sad because I was super excited. For one, Willy is one of my least favorite characters in the series. I just feel like she only cares about herself.



Even when she was worried about Matt, it was all about her. Her and Aunt Leticia are two of my least favorite characters.

I also did not see the wedding coming in this one. Things had been dragged out for so long thus far. I thought they would wait a little while to get married, but it happened so suddenly! It was a nice surprise, but it felt a little anticlimactic because it had been building up for seven books. It will be interesting to see how things go from here now that the big conflicts are over.

It's finally Glass and Glass! This series has taken slow burn to a whole new level!

I love this series for the characters. Again the storyline went by the same formula.

[Natasha · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 rounded up
.5 star given for the fantastic ending alone

[Diana Stormblessed · Rating 3 out of 5]

Weakest of the series. Character decisions seem stretched just for drama. Lots of it feels like filler. Generally uninteresting. I've flown through this series one after the other but I think it's time I take a break before continuing on.

[Besmet El Manel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finally!
Same easy cute mystery as in other books of the series, but I was smiling by the time the book ended.

They finally get to be together in the seventh book of the series. SEVENTH!

Now I’m wondering if the plots will concentrate more on Cyclops and OMG what will happen when India is finally gonna tell Matt about the secret deal 🤫

I might pause the series now for the beginning of next year 🤩

Another outstanding mystery!

I highly recommend you read the full series from the beginning, as to know all that has come before! I love the series and each one contains an excellent mystery. Each has had me guessing & I was wrong every time! I wonder if you can solve the mysteries before the end.

As I hate spoilers, I will tell you things that won't give anything away. What I will tell you is how excellent the writing happens to be, superb! The descriptive talents of Ms Archer is the writing craft shown at its best. She can describe things so well that one can see the scene with the eyes closed; hear the sounds of whistles, shouts, and carriage wheels; smell the scents, feel the chill or heat, dirt and smut, & taste the tea! The dialogue is believable, natural, and well developed. The humor will come at the most unsuspecting times, causing one to laugh out loud. And, there is danger, love, heartbreak, jealousy, fear and murder. All together it makes for a fascinating read one cannot put down.

I encourage you to begin at the beginning, but if you have followed Ms Archer's Glass and Steele books right along, you must have The Cheater's Game! Stop reading reviews and click on the Buy Now button!

This was another addictive edition to a pulse pounding and intriguing series! Another magical murder ensures that Matt, India and the gang are all involved in solving this captivating whodunit! Willie is being evasive as usual and is busily making new friends. The neverending back and fourth between Cyclops and Catherine continues on. The wild west comes to the city and it provides the right atmosphere for this fast paced plot. I absolutely adored the conclusion! Truly, it was seeming like we would never reach this event. Cannot wait to see what this brilliant and imaginative author has in store for us next! Ms. Archer is a supreme storyteller 💕💕💕💕

[Alexandra Martin · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was really looking forward to this book and preordered it and all. It barely contained any magic this time, which is fine, but then rushed thru all of India and Matt’s wedding details and everything! We don’t even know what the end result was with the murderer and if he will get off or not! And there were literally barely any wedding night details!!! And then it says the end, coming soon 8th book in series! I’m of course going to keep reading them, idk how many more are coming, and I still love them, it just feels we waited so long for Matt and India to get together and be in love and it be okay and we rushed thru the rest once they did!

4 Stars

Really enjoyed this one. Finally Matt's uncle & family aren't interfering in Matt & India's relationship. That was a breath of fresh air!! The "Uncle" issue almost had me giving up on this series. The mystery was a good one and that was the main focus of the book. It was good to see M&I get their HEA in their personal life. Unlike a dear friend of mine...I was actually pleased we didn't get a lot of wedding details. ;-) Although the actually ceremony was a quick scene.

Can't wait for The Prisoner's Key!

[Julia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Frankly, I didn't care for the mystery, I wanted to know what would happen between India and Matt. I liked the book, though - because the cast of characters living in 6 Park Street are great.

So, I guess I'll read the next one. I need to know what happens with Cyclops and Catherine.

[Kyla C · Rating 5 out of 5]

I rate this 5 ⭐️ because it was very entertaining. I loved every second reading it. One thing I do like about the series is that you can see the development of the character throughout the whole series and it’s just very incredible. Romances on the other hand.❤️❤️😅🥰 is the best you can see how like they develop together and how they’re such as a cute couple. The romances are in this book are so good like I love this book so much. When you finish a serious, the worst part about it is you could never experience what you felt the first time. If you’re smart, you’ll read this book series’s. This is one of the best book series I’ve ever read.


Romances: Cyclops, and Catherine. I can’t believe Cyclops doesn’t want to getget together so come on guys come on. At least I kissed.
Matt and India, cutest couple ever. They’re just so cute together. I am so happily they’re finally married. 🥰❤️🎉🎉 I can’t wait to see where this goes in the next book.

I love this series Archer is one fine writer and storyteller. I found the first book in a Goodwill store in Illinois written by an independent author living in Australia. Thanks to the internet, I found and have the rest and also this wonderful writer has more series yet for me to explore. It's London, Summer 1890. Buffalo Bill's Wild West show has come to town.

[Tess · Rating 4 out of 5]

well, finally, the wedding.
also some plot points that were alluded to in the Glass Library series ( I started that series first) have finally appeared.
I still like Sylvia in The Glass Library series better than India, but India is growing on me.

[A.M. Cummins · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this one. A lot of wrapping up.

[Wonda · Rating 4 out of 5]

4...Now this was much better! The case held up and the characters had me laughing out loud on several occasions! Glad we finally had a wedding too, even though the details were lacking.

I adore this series. This was my favorite yet. Great surprising turns and the ending i was hoping for. Fantastic!

[Jonnae Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some minor things seemed too repetitive, but overall I liked it! Usually it seems like there are SO many suspects, but not this time. A huge decision is about to be made and the results of that definitely keep me reading, among other things.

[Nicole_xyz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ich mag die Reihe wirklich sehr gern und auch dieser Teil war sehr schön, spannend und gut geschrieben. Leider stört mich das Verhalten der Protagonistin an manchen Stellen und die anderen Teile fand ich spannender, daher einen Stern Abzug. Aber trotzdem ein super Buch und eine große Empfehlung!

[Reem Eisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

As usual, another amazing book by C.J Archer. I can’t wait to start the next one. The way the story developed and how lord Coyle manipulated people and things. Didn’t expect the killer though.
