Great storytelling and fun insider content from the world of sport! Another winner for this author. I love it!

DANGEROUS PLAY is everything readers look for in a thriller: whip-smart protagonist, engaging mystery, and surprises on every page, all delivered by an author who clearly knows the fascinating world she brings us into..

I really enjoyed Book 1 of the Kate Green mystery series and am thrilled about Book 2 as well! Elise Hart Kipness is thoroughly qualified to present her sports reporter lead and the author's past experience rings particularly true here. A fascinating behind the curtain peek at a reporter hot on the trail of a compelling story. This one is very timely given the Olympics are around the corner. I'll be watching women's soccer with renewed vigor because of this book.

This book has a fascinating storyline full of unexpected twists and turns, with elements of intrigue, suspense, and mystery that will keep you engaged until the very end.

I recommend starting with the first book, Lights Out, to better understand the character's background. However, it's still easy to follow the story without it.

Kate is covering women's Olympic soccer. With her experience and days playing with head coach Savannah Baker, Kate is sure to get the story to reestablish her career.

She just didn’t expect that story to involve murder.

When famous jewelry designer Alexa Kane is found dead in the locker room, Kate’s promising future screeches to a halt as her past resurfaces. Alexa played with Kate and Savannah on the US youth national team...Savannah wants to keep a secret about a camp incident involving Kate and Alexa when they were teenagers. Kate feels guilty about what happened to Alexa and believes she failed her when she needed her the most. Determined to repair the past, Kate is on a mission to find out who killed Alexa. The story follows a timeline or back-and-forth approach to provide a better understanding of the characters and the story, but it is easy to follow... This is a great read and the author did a fantastic job...I would be interested in reading more of their work, especially in this series.

Content, mention of child abuse, bully and rape.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for the eARC.

Dangerous Play by Elise Hart Kipness is book 2 in the Kate Green series. I did read book 1, but Dangerous Play could be read as a standalone book.

After a tumultuous murder case that almost cost more than her job, sports reporter Kate Green is back on assignment covering women’s Olympic soccer.

When famous jewelry designer Alexa Kane is found dead in the locker room, Kate’s promising future screeches to a halt as her past resurfaces. Alexa played with Kate and Savannah on the U.S. Youth National Team, but there was no reason for her to be at the stadium now.

Kate’s investigation puts her in close contact with her estranged father, an NYPD detective. As their secrets collide, Kate must decide which ones to keep and which to reveal to stop the killer.

The story was interesting, and it was interesting to immerse yourself in the soccer world and the Olympics. I like Kate as a character. There were some slow parts, but overall, it was a solid read and a good story. I would read more by this author and in this series.

After reading LIGHTS OUT, Elise Hart Kipness's debut mystery, I was excited to return to Kate Green's turbulent world, and DANGEROUS PLAY delivered. In this sequel, crime comes to the New York Olympics, and the victim -- jewelry designer Alexa Kane -- has close ties to Kate and her soccer pro past, rousing suspicions about Alexa's life, the head coach of the USA team, and their entourage. With a flair for conveying the complexity of friendships and a meticulous eye for all things sports, Elise Hart Kipness delivers another big win.

I loved the first in the series Lights Out, which was her debut.

I loved this book, which is second in the series about the complicated Kate Green. She is a sports reporter who is gritty, emotional, head strong, determined and raw. Her past has been tough, but she is looking forward to her new assignment covering women’s Olympic soccer and hoping for a fresh start.

Nothing like a murder, to bring reporters to the forefront. Alexa Kane is a famous designer who is found dead in the locker room. Kate knew Alexa from her time with the US youth national team. Why is she in the locker room?? She is not part of the team.
Once again she is thrown into a investigation which involves her father, who is an NYPD detective. I hope this series continues.
My colleagues and I at #thrillerbookloversthepulse are RAVING about this series. I highly recommend if you like strong female detective stories.

Dangerous Play by E.H. Kipness is the second book in the Kate Green Series. For best reading experience I recommend to read the books in order. The previous book is Lights Out.
