Review of Game of Twins - The Special Agent
9 posts
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Game of Twins - The Special Agent" by Tom Ranseen.]
Game of Twins - The Special Agent by Tom Ranseen is one book you won't forget in a hurry. Do you know those books that leave you at the edge of your chair or clutching a pillow, or biting your nails? Do you remember those books that linger in your mind while you're busy with other things, tugging at you to go back and finish reading them? This book is one of them.
A gruesome murder of identical twin sisters lighted up Derbert Hinke's world as an FBI special agent. The FBI director summoned him, gave him a raise with special privileges, and satisfied his craving for beautiful women. But anger set in when the director, who gave him the case to handle, wouldn't let him follow the investigations to a conclusion because it wasn't turning out the way he (the director) wanted. As the years went by, it became apparent that it was a case of serial killings, as murder after murder of identical twin girls reoccurred. In the course of his investigations, Hinke realized he was up against supernatural powers. Unfortunately, he was way too deep to let go; he was determined to unravel the mystery and end the murders.
I must say that when I started reading the book, I was thrilled to discover it was in the crime/mystery/thriller genre. However, I felt disappointed because it looked like all the answers were already apparent for one to see from the beginning. That didn't feel like a mystery to me. Alas, I was wrong! I judged too quickly. The turn of events took me aback, which was how I liked it. Tom Ranseen brought his A-game to this one. His top-notch storytelling skill was visible, and he did an excellent job interweaving the historical events of the book's time frame into his story.
As much as I enjoyed the plot, I did care a little for the depiction of violence. The murder scenes were horrific, and the detailed descriptions left nothing to the imagination. However, the supernatural touch helped to explain any concern that a human being could be capable of such gruesome acts.
In addition to that, the sex scenes were many and detailed, and heavy profane language was used. This book would be unsuitable for young readers. I'd recommend it to lovers of crime and mystery who wouldn't get nauseous reading the gory scenes. The editing of this book was okay, as there were a few minor errors. Considering that I couldn't pick out any fault, I'd rate the book 4 out of 4 stars.
