About this ebook

ONE ROOM. FIVE SUSPECTS.
THREE HOURS TO FIND A KILLER.

'An impressive debut' James Oswald

**************

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.

**************

What readers are saying about this gripping thriller from the new king of the locked room mystery, Chris McGeorge:

'Guess Who boils with claustrophobic intensity. Packed with gripping twists and turns, Guess Who is an inventive, entertaining locked room mystery that kept me utterly hooked.' Adam Hamdy, author of Pendulum

'Aningenious twisty mystery in a totally unique setting.' Claire McGowan, author of The Lost

'An impressive debut and a sign of great things to come.' James Oswald, author of Natural Causes

'Chris McGeorge's Guess Who is a fresh take on the locked room murder mystery. The plotting is intricate, the characters well drawn, and the pace never lets up as it drives headlong to the surprising end.' David C. Taylor, Edgar-nominated, Nero Wolfe Award-winning author of Night Life

'Guess Who is an incredibly satisfying, intelligent thriller running at break-neck pace right until it's closing pages. A marvellous debut.' Francesca Dorricott, author of After the Eclipse

'To say that I found ithard to put down would be an understatement indeed. And when we got to the reveal, I was gobsmacked! Well done that author, take a bow. Not only is it a wholly satisfying, cracking read but, for a debut, it is also very brave and indeed impressive.' Amazon reviewer, 5 stars

'The story is incredibly well-written; it's one of those books that once started, can't be put down. The plot is solid and character development is good. A perfect, modern-day Agatha Christie-esque novel.' Amazon reviewer, 5 stars

'I must admit I am somewhat daunted at the prospect of writing a review for this book - it was so fantastic that I am not sure I can encapsulate just good it was in this review.' Amazon reviewer, 5 stars

Morgan Shepherd dreamed of fame as a child, and got his wish by solving a murder, fast forward to adulthood he's a famous Jeremy Kyle style tv detective without an ounce of remorse for who he hurts. Somebody is ready to push him to the brink, they want revenge and Morgan soon finds himself locked in a hotel room with a bunch of random strangers, a murder to solve and worse still one of them did it! Trying to piece the puzzle together proves difficult for a lousy drunken alcoholic he's become, but time is running out and if he doesn't solve it, they all die. Tension comes thick and fast in this gripping page turner from new writer Chris McGeorge, I was on the edge of my seat most of the time, twist after twist kept me hooked, although parts are slightly unbelievable you are swept along with the story and the clues are there along the way if you know where to look, I'm proud to say I guessed who, but I went into it determined to solve it, you can just read it and be surprised, there's humour from an array of characters that should never really be put together, and sometimes claustrophobic setting makes it uncomfortable reading, you find yourself rooting for some and wishing for others demise, well I did anyway. A nice shout out to how Die Hard could have been had it starred Morgan Shepherd and a few red herrings thrown in to keep you guessing and a few shocks you won't see coming. All in all a great read, can't wait for the next one.
