Deadly Games

The Mystery Club #9

by Fiona Kelly

From book cover:

'Kidnapped!' Steffie repeated, full of scorn. 'Of course my brother hasn't been kidnapped! He's on a tiny island somewhere, that's all! He chose to go there,' Steffie insisted. 'There's mystery here for your beloved Mystery Club!'

The Mystery Club without a mystery? Then why is Steffie Smith behaving so strangely? She refuses to talk, but The Mystery Club - Holly, Belinda and Tracy - aren't deterred. And soon they're dragged into a murky world of kidnap, espionage - and even murder...

Una compañia de video juegos y su atractivo dueño y creador aparecen en todos los medios.
Una mañana Holly se encuentra con un chico singular, que resulta ser esa persona.
Su enemiga comienza a comportarse de un modo extraño y todo parece indicar que conoce más que nadie a ese chico.
Averiguar lo que pasa podría ser peligroso, pero el club del misterio no puede decirle que no a una aventura nueva.

Una historia que fue escrita en los noventas, que seguro te recordó a otras novelas que tienen menos años. Un tema super interesante y muchas pistas por todos lados. Máscaras, intenciones ocultas, sospechas y la redención de alguien inimaginable.
Juegos mortales es un libro atrapante que si te gustan los video juegos debes darte la oportunidad de leer.

Book #9 finds The Mystery Club, Holly, Tracy, and Belinda, involved in a case of corporate espionage. The girls discover that Steffie Smith, Holly's arch enemy at school, has a brother who become very rich after developing a computer game. Supposedly the brother has disappeared, but Steffie is acting very mysterious. It doesn't take very long for the girls to find the brother in hiding. He is being stalked by a very dangerous duo who want his newest game that he is currently developing. And being the Mystery Club, the girls decide to help him hide. Things get dangerous as the duo, who will stop at nothing, stalk them- with guns too!

This series takes place in Yorkshire, England,and the three girls are 14-15 years old. The mysteries are very good, well written, and after re-reading 8 of them in a row, I'm still not bored!

Kevyttä kesälukemista. Nykypäivän valossa juoni tuntui epäuskottavalta (arvokas peli-innovaatio yhdellä levykkeellä ja yksittäinen roistokaksikko ilman taustatukea?), mutta 90-luvulla moinen olisikin voinut tapahtua.

¡Qué final! ¡Me ha dejado sin respiración! Si hubiera leído el libro con 12 o 13 años aún estaría sin respirar xD
