The Baby Game by Randall Hicks

Review by Andrea Maloney

Attorney Toby Dillon likes to help people. His two best friends, friends since childhood, need his help to adopt a baby.  They are Hollywood's latest glamour couple and the adoption story is like gold to the news media. Everything goes perfectly until there is a kidnapping, the birth mother disappears and suspects start turning up dead.  Soon the past comes back to haunt them and things go from bad to worse.

Randall Hicks has written a terrific first mystery novel. The Baby Game is a mystery with a comic twist, delightful characters well written and believable, a suspenseful mystery with enough twists & turns to leave you guessing up until the surprising ending. A gem of a first mystery that will leave you wanting more from this up and coming author.
