The Big Thrill Recommends: DANGEROUS PLAY by Elise Hart Kipness

Recommended by Susana Kuehne

DANGEROUS PLAY deserves its own television show. Competitive and taut with celebrity drama, it provides an entertaining read for anyone who revels in solving mysteries. With storytelling similar to Harlan Coben, Elise Hart Kipness easily pops her readers straight into the chaos of a women’s Olympic soccer team aiming for the win against the backdrop of a murder investigation.

A dead girl in a tub full of ice.

A bratty player treating interviews like TikTok reels.

A sour coach with much to hide.

A fashionista at risk of being dethroned.

Multiple threads to untangle, and the hunt has just begun.

Foxy protagonist Kate Green has been assigned the sports coverage for the USA team, led by Coach Savannah Baker. The name is not new to her, and the ties to this girl beckon for the reader to question if she could have been responsible for the lifeless woman found in the locker room—Alexa Kane.

Kate has her work cut out for her, with early mornings spent conducting interviews and late nights digging into this brutal crime. As her past with the victim emerges, she is compelled to go down investigative paths her police officer father warned her to avoid.

Astute Kipness keeps readers guessing. Short, action-packed chapters splashed with skirmishes among all the folks at Kate’s media station serve as delicious subplots compared to the showcased danger. She also transforms otherwise mundane settings into places you won’t want to leave. If there’s one thing you’ll learn from the characters in this book, it’s that you can’t trust anything.

Including your own memories.
