Everything is a clue.
Bonnie arrives on a remote sea fort off the coast of England to take part in a mysterious reality TV show. Competing against seven strangers, she must solve a series of puzzles to win the prize money, but this is no game - and the consequences of failure are deadly.
No one leaves.
Under scrutiny from the watching public, the contestants quickly turn on one another. Who will sacrifice the most for wealth and fame? And why can't Bonnie shake the creeping sense that they are not alone?
The only way out is to win.
When the first contestant is found dead, Bonnie begins to understand the dark truth at the heart of this twisted competition: there's a killer inside the fort, and anyone could be next. If Bonnie wants to escape, she needs to win...
Are you ready to play?
Fast paced with lots of clever twists, this has absolutely put me off escape rooms - at least for the next little while!
The puzzles are so clever and well thought out, I would have been in terrible trouble - although I do know a tiny bit of Morse code! I found it difficult to tell the characters apart at first, but that's typical for me, and they were different enough to tell apart once I got a bit further in.
There is some violence and gore, so be aware of that as you're reading. It's not too graphically described, but it is there. Also (and I'm reading a proof so it's probably fixed in the final version) there is a point where the main character is addressed by the wrong name.
This is a great, heart pounding, quick read that you won't want to put down until the very last twist on the very last page.
The Escape Room publishes on the 29th of February, 2024. I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
