The Society Game

The Society Game is a debut from pilot turned author, H. Lanfermeijer.

It's the first part of a planned series and it takes a close examination of the more dysfunctional and less salubrious aspects of our society.

What happens when someone is utterly obsessed by the concept of leading an image-driven life?

We see the action in the novel from the perspective of Olivia Hopkins, she is referred to as "the wife" and the reader is quickly taken into her life, looking at all the intimate details, seeing not only what she sees but also taking a peek into the workings of her mind, seeing things that the other people in her life have no clue about.

Olivia plays the society game, a husband she loves (for his credit card) lovers and as the author points out: "The devil walks amongst us."

The novel, perhaps worryingly, is based on true events, triggered by one of her neighbours murdering her husband.

It's an interesting and compelling novel.

It's published by Matador at £10.99.
