Following release, the book was listed in the top ten best-selling novels in the Amazon ?Thriller? category.

Reviewers comments ?An amazing debut novel by Matt Johnson. This was a book I simply could not put down, it is so fast paced with numerous twists and turns that it gets your attention in the first few pages. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys a gritty thriller.? Goodreads.com And from Amazon? ?The plot is strong and features an SAS soldier turned policeman whose past comes back to haunt him. The story raced along at a high pace, twisting and turning and keeping you guessing. Each character is thoughtfully introduced and effectively developed. That bond between former soldiers is brilliantly captured and the dialogue and engagement is written in such a way that the reader feels a part of this. Matt Johnson has stepped into a very busy genre but has come up with something fresh and distinctive? ??loved, loved, loved reading this book, my husband was constantly trying to read it over my shoulder... he is very happy now I've finished so he can read it. I connected with the character Finlay from the start - the contrast between the "family man" and "soldier" was brilliant and when the two worlds collide well...just read it for yourself...Cleverly written, it is a typical hard to put down book and real page turner? ?Wicked Game had me gripped from the start, believable characters nicely paced with a few twists and turns had me reading the book in no time at all. Messr`s McNab and Ryan look over your shoulders, there is a new kid in town. His name is Matt Johnson!? ?Wicked Game is simply the best debut novel I've ever read. Finished over a weekend, I just couldn't put it down. The pace of the storyline is relentless and thoroughly absorbing. My own dad was ex military and served as a police officer for over 20 yrs so the topic of the novel was of great interest to me anyway. I've read dozens of books on the SAS, IRA etc and Wicked Game has joined them all on the top shelf. From page 1 it just grabbed my balls and didn't let go until the end. Massive congratulations to the author.?
