Description
The greater the Evil, the more deadly the game…
When a rapist is found mutilated in a brutal attack, Detective Kim Stone and her team are called in to bring a swift resolution. But, as more vengeful killings come to light, it soon becomes clear that there is someone far more sinister at work.
With the investigation quickly gathering momentum, Kim finds herself exposed to great danger and in the sights of a lethal individual undertaking their own twisted experiment.
Up against a sociopath who seems to know her every weakness, for Detective Stone, each move she makes could be deadly. As the body count starts to mount, Kim will have to dig deeper than ever before to stop the killing. And this time - it’s personal.
Absolutely UNPUTDOWNABLE, nail-bitingly tense and with a twist that will put your jaw on the floor. If you love Rachel Abbott, Val McDermid or Mark Billingham, this will keep you flipping through the pages long into the night, and desperate to read the rest in this multi-million copy-selling series.
Watch out for more from Detective Kim Stone
A detective hiding dark secrets, Kim Stone will stop at nothing to protect the innocent. Silent Scream is the first book in the series.
What readers are saying about Evil Games…
‘Angela Marsons has done it again! Evil Games is an absolutely cracking, five-star read – I devoured it in one sitting. Kim Stone has rapidly become one of my favourite ever detectives, and in this second novel in the DI Stone series she kicks ass more than ever, and I have, once again, been left panting in the corner in dire need of a cup of tea!’ Reading Room with a View
‘I'm a little bit speechless to be honest at just how incredible this book was… one of the best new crime authors of 2015, maybe even the decade... Evil Games is a must read book, and probably one of the best I will read this year.’ Book Addict Shaun
‘Silent Scream (Book 1) was quite brilliant. Evil Games (Book 2) is EXCEPTIONAL. Clearly, the current rating system is broken as it’s unable to accommodate books of this calibre. So I give you – 6/5.’ Little Bookness Lane
‘Evil Games is a clever, action-packed journey into some of society's darkest places, crackling with tension and wit. And DI Kim Stone is the most fascinating character to arrive on the scene since Val McDermid gave us Tony Hill. This is a no-brainer. Read Evil Games. You won't regret it.’ Mark Edwards
‘Evil Games is a fabulously dark and chilling read… I am a huge fan of D.I. Kim Stone and can't recommend this series highly enough.’ By the Letter Book Reviews
‘Yet again Angela Marsons has written a 5* crime novel. I loved Silent Scream... Evil Games is certainly as good as the first, if not better, and I wish I could give it a higher rating than 5/5.’ Off the Shelf Book Reviews
‘Once again, Angela Marsons takes us into the life of the brilliant loner DI Kim Stone and gives us an exciting, slightly chilling and totally thrilling read. This is one book that exceeded all of my expectations… Get yourself ready to take a day off and immerse yourself in this book. It is worth it.’ Northern Crime
‘Angela Marsons is fast becoming THE one to watch in this genre and I would defy anyone not to read and enjoy her writing… She truly has a brilliant mind and this book did not disappoint… This story has everything, it is riveting, emotional, sad and most of all it has a depth that not many novels can claim to have… I highly recommend this one, Simply brilliant.’ Postcard Reviews
‘This book, with every page you turn, gives you goose bumps. I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck standing up and I just didn't want to put it down. It's fantastically written, it's gripping right to the last page and I just can't wait for book three now.’ It’s All About the Books

I have read two Kim Stone novels by Angela Marstons - she has an extraordinary talent, and has created a fascinating character with a gritty and intriguing back story, but which does not interfere with the police procedural element of the story. I am only sorry she cannot write as fast as I can read !
Brilliant book series

Up alongside more established authors, Angela holds her own. The complex and convoluted plot is populated with all too human characters, not least Kim, whose own desperate past makes her vulnerable to attack from one who seeks to harm her. The background of the flawed hero is further fleshed out and has her heading towards parallel individuals like Logan McRae and, dare we whisper it, Rebus himself. I like these books and I can't wait to read the next in the series - what more can you say?

Another brilliant read! Love the fact that local (to me!) places and landmarks are included but most of all an intriguing story and wonderfully woven characters. I've already recommend this author to friends ! About to download the next book. Hope Angela Marstons has more books to write.

High praise for a truly excellent read. Gripping beyond words, too clichéd for a page turner remark. Well plotted, believable characters , fast paced and menacing beyond words. Highly recommended, down load and enjoy.

Really enjoyed this book and Silent Scream before it. The characters keep you hooked and I particularly like the way that amongst the dark characters and their evil acts there are acts of kindness by other characters that remind you that the human race isn't so bad after all. Really looking forward to the next instalment.

This is the second book I have read in the series. I loved the debut novel and this was even better. My only criticism was that it ended too soon! I am already looking forward to seeing what is next for Kim

Bang! Kim Stone is back, banging up a father abusing his two young daughters! Horrible man! The Dunn case seems to be all wrapped up but Stone has a niggle and her niggles are never wrong.
Then we move on to a therapist and her patient. The minute Alex Thorne starts the visualisation exercise with her patient, I knew she was up to no good.... But how far will she go?? The patient's actions result in Stone investigating and she knows there is something not quite right (those niggles again)....
Thorne is an evil woman playing her own personal games with the vulnerable and tries, as the book goes on, to manipulate Stone....but has she met her match in our heroine?!
The book continues with the Dunn case bubbling in the background .... Can Stone and the team rid society of some horrible people?!
I love the banter between Stone and Bryant, it's just the way I imagine it to be in a real police team.
Angie Marsons hasn't disappointed at all with the follow up to Silent Scream! Bring on the next 6 episodes (please let there be more after that)!! I'm definitely a fan!
Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for letting me read this advanced copy in return for my review and thank you Angie for writing such a brilliant book!
