Throughout October, The Local's Book Club has been reading psychological thriller The Dying Game. Here's a glimpse of what our readers thought.
Set in a dystopian near future where the Soviet Union never fell, The Dying Game's premise is already intriguing, and after an early twist it veers into the locked room genre.
The year is 2037, and author Åsa Avdic transports us to the tiny island of Isola, where seven people are competing for a role in intelligence. Main character Anna Francis isn't one of them; she's been hired to stage her own death and observe how the others react.
