GUESS
WHO
A waitress. A cleaner. An actress. A lawyer. A student. Everyone is a suspect.

WHERE
In a locked room - with no escape, and no idea how they got there.

WHAT
In the bathtub, the body of a man they all knew. Someone murdered him. Someone in this room.

WHY
They have three hours to find out. Or they all die.

THE RULES ARE SIMPLE. THE GAME IS NOT
Imagine Agatha Christie had created an interactive Escape the Room game, and GUESS WHO would be the result. For fans of the DI Helen Grace series by MJ Arlidge, The Lucky Ones by Mark Edwards, Ragdoll by Daniel Cole, and From the Dead by Mark Billingham.

Wow I had no idea how to work out who the murderer is or what the motive was, well until things became slightly more apparent later in the book but even then I was still getting shocks. 

This has to be the ultimate in locked door claustrophobic crime stories - no one knows why they are in the room, or how they got there, or initially what they may have in common, but if one of them can't solve the murder in 3 hours they will all be blown up. 

It is fast paced, its thrillings, its unpredictable and was a utterly gripping. I was completely drawn into the situation and I think I felt as tense as the various characters  in the room. 

I'm struggling to believe this is a debut novel as its so good. I am very eager to see what the author will write next. 

Thank you to Netgalley and Orion for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
