I recently read The Blame Game by Sandie Jones. I have read and enjoyed all her books; this is no exception. This is the story of a psychologist, Naomi, who specializes in domestic violence. Naomi is currently treating Jacob who is mistreated by his wife. Jacob is afraid of what she might do to him and of snapping himself and hurting her in return. After letting Jacob stay in her rental property when he decides to leave his wife, he goes missing. Strange things start happening as the police believe he is in grave danger and the evidence points to Naomi as a possible suspect.
This book was fantastic. First of all, it's short, 244 pages. This means that the author has no time to waste. Most descriptions and connecting information are omitted to leave room for action. This story races through the plot like it's on fire and running for its life. I literally had to go back and reread sections as two words like "she imagined" changes everything. You know how I hate bric-a-brac in books, this is devoid of everything but exactly what you need to know, so you better pay attention. I wish all thrillers were written like this!

Thank you to Minotaur Books for this gifted copy!This book is suspense! I had that same feeling when I read the guilt trip last year! This book had a lot of moving parts. We had Naomi, the therapist, who’s married to Leon. We had Jacob the client who is seeking help from Naomi bc he’s in a domestic violence situation with his wife. Not only is she tangled in his life, but Naomi has also involved herself in another client, Anna’s, life as well. Naomi is also dealing with tons of family issues too.With all these different characters, I thought the author did a great job of making the characters distinct enough that they all felt distinguishable. The drama was at an all time high! Even though I knew Naomi didn’t do the things the police were accusing her of, all the evidence stacked against her made it easy to see why they thought it was her. Also some of her decisions had me screaming “GIRL what are you doing!”Overall I had a good time reading this book! I think Sandie Jones excels at drama and suspense. She always has me on the edge of my seat! I look forward to reading whatever she comes out with next!
