'SUPERB' TELEGRAPH
'YOU EITHER GOT IT OR YOU DON'T ... WATT ABSOLUTELY HAS' THE TIMES THRILLER OF THE MONTH
'THE FINAL CHASE SCENE ... IS ONE OF THE BEST I'VE READ' OBSERVER THRILLER OF THE MONTH
_______________
Only a journalist goes where even the police fear to tread...
Casey Benedict, globe-trotting star reporter at London paper The Post, is tenacious, fearless, inventive – and still in recovery after her last major story jeopardised her life, and all of those close to her.
Invited to spend the day at the races, she sees a man being hunted across the racecourse. A horrified Casey intervenes to save his life – and in doing so finds herself face to face with her next major investigation.
From London to Budapest, from snowy mountain retreats to glitzy Mediterranean coastal resorts, Casey is on a desperate hunt to find the person behind the shadowy organisations responsible and expose them to the public before anyone else's lives are lost.

'Superb [...] As Benedict's investigation sees her hopping ever more frenetically around Europe, her musings on the dubious ethics of her profession give the story an edge of moral ambiguity, helping to make this the thinking person's action-thriller of the season
The Telegraph
This is clever, intriguing, fast-moving writing, with a protagonist who won't let go of a story. The final chase scene, involving a chair lift across snowy mountains, is one of the best I've read
Observer, Thrillers of the Month
Benedict may have more compunction than some real-life hacks, but the rare combination of ethics and thrills in this series remains potent, climaxing here atop a cable car in the Alps. You either got it or you don't, and for my money, Watt absolutely has
The Times, Book of the Month
The End of the Game has glamour, grit and chase scenes to die for
Sarah Hilary
The narrative crackles with Watt's familiar energy as she ramps up the tension in Benedict's fourth outing. She is a determined and engaging protagonist and Watt is a talented writer
Financial Times
I loved this smart, modern, brilliantly plotted journalistic thriller, which combines relentless action with wonderful writing. The End Of The Game brings vividly to life the adrenaline-fuelled highs and frightening lows of life as an undercover reporter. Watt's unstoppable heroine, and the shadowy worlds she navigates, are perfectly realised and terrifyingly plausible. A real triumph!
