From Publishers Weekly
TV personality Allen's 37th book is a tricky, charming and literate whodunit about a series of deaths surrounding the revival of a TV game show.

Review
America was ready for a nostalgic treat when it revived one of television's most popular game shows. Little did the network know that it was setting the stage for murder. Steve Allen is a master tale-teller whose skills as a writer are equaled by his abilities as a dramatic narrator. Allen fans will want to avail themselves of The Murder Game, the latest evidence of the multitalented creativity of Steve Allen. -- Midwest Book Review

4.0 out of 5 stars
murder is only a game on tv,
By Paul Skinner (Manassas, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Murder Game (Mass Market Paperback)
Was it murder, or a series of highly coincidental accidents that took the lives of so many celebrities connected to the TV show, "The Murder Game"? Steve Allen and his real life wife must solve the mystery before they become victims as well. The book was very enjoyable, yet unbelievable. First off, I find it impossible to believe the LAPD wouldn't latch onto the accidents with suspicion sooner. Second, I could not believe the killer, who was so careful throughout the story would betray their identity in the final dramatic scene. Finally, Steve and Jayne's escape from death was a bit too difficult to swallow, especially with such a shallow explanation offered after the fact. Nevertheless, Mr Allen writes murder mysteries in the style of an old fashioned gentleman, which makes them a joy to read. Whatever happened to wit and manners?
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Murder Game (Audio Cassette)
I picked up 2 of S.A.'s books at library sale and was searching for more of his mystery titles; love the way he involves Jayne and himself into the books. END
