Murder in the “G” Basketball League is a murder mystery book written by Richard Murphy. The book is a page-turner and an exciting book filled with drama, a plethora of emotion, and suspense. It contains an intriguing story of the mysterious and unforeseen death that happened during the G league competition that left everyone in shock. Who died? What was the cause of death? Was it murder? If so, who was the culprit?

The author started his story by telling us about the Flounder's match in the Playoff. The author takes us through the life of the members of the Flounder team and shows us how a group of different people can work together for a game. The author also tells us about the life of Coach Baker, an ex-military man who also played for Shamrock over the years. The author talks about the relationship the coach had with his player and how they were dominating the competition before tragedy ensued.

The positive aspects I found in the book are many. First, I love the story. I love how captivating and interesting the storyline is. I love the author's style of writing. His use of suspense, drama, and tragedy in the book was really satisfactory. I like how the author described his characters and their relationship with each other. I also love how twisted the end of the book is. The book gave me a little knowledge about the game of basketball. It also enriched my vocabulary. I also love the author's detailed writing on the investigation of the victim's death. I also love the story of Todd being blackmailed by his close friend, Blinky. That story taught me to never fully trust anyone and always be careful in every situation. 

I really enjoyed this book; it was really interesting and captivating. Apart from the errors I found in the book, I did not find any negative aspects of the book.

Although I found some errors in the book, I would say this book was well edited. I rate the book 4 out of 4 because the errors I found did not affect the flow or rhythm of the author's story; it was still satisfying and interesting to read. The book was a good mix of mystery and drama.

I recommend this book to everyone who loves sports, most especially basketball. I also recommend the book to persons who love murder mystery books.

Seems like it's a book that'll keep someone on the edge, and I'm a big fan of murder mysteries. Would really like to check it out sometime (definitely). Great review.

I’m impressed that a coach can have such a good relationship with his team. Whenever I watch basketball I am also impressed that, for the most part, individuals can wrk so well together toward a common goal.

A basketball themed mystery novel. Good review! But this one's not for me.
