Ringman
by Britney King
The bestselling author of HER and The Social Affair returns with a suspenseful tale of crime and passion about a charming sociopath and the criminologist hired to find his killer.
Jason McClure is one of the world’s most skilled womanizers. A charming sociopath with a penchant for luxury, Jason is found naked in a dumpster, the only clue to his murder a crumpled photograph stuffed in his mouth.
Camile Brennan is a criminologist hired to consult with the Dallas Police Department on a single task: to find the person—or persons—responsible for McClure’s death.
Camile, who is equal parts beauty, brains, and narcissist, throws herself into the investigation, which takes a lascivious turn when she discovers photos of multiple women on Jason’s laptop, each wearing one of the distinctive rings on the photo from Jason’s mouth.
And just like that, she’s thrust front and center into Jason McClure’s debauched past, which is actually a relief, considering Camile’s own life is about to take a rocky turn.
Ringman is a sleek, fast-paced international thriller guaranteed to leave even the most seasoned suspense reader breathless.

Favorite Quotes:
The truth is, once time is lost, it’s gone. Time is the most nonrenewable resource we have in this life. It should not be wasted.
That poor girl. She doesn’t realize it yet, but she’s a trophy for him to display, like a big game hunter who collected the heads of his kills.
You can’t cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it…
I refuse to take the bait. The surest way to prove your guilt is to start defending yourself. So I don’t. I just let people talk until the gossip dies down and the next unimportant private matter catches their attention.
My Review:
Another itchy, twisty, original, and unpredictable tale from the evil genius of Britney King. I continue to be awed and captivated by her craft while coveting her clever word voodoo. She always manages to completely inhabit each well-contrived character while keeping me on edge and continually guessing at the outcome. This unnerving tale was written from multiple POVs and I was so fully slotted in, I felt as if I were personally participating in these vexatious events through several different pairs of eyes.
