What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Eight contestants. One killer. Can you find the traitor?

'Wow! What a page-turner. I'm a Celebrity meets Lord of the Flies.' Emma Curtis

‘The pace never slackens.’ Faith Martin

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?

Critics Review

'Wow! What a page-turner. I'm a Celebrity meets Lord of the Flies. The nicest people turning on each other when the going gets tough.'
Emma Curtis
'What fun!'
Guardian
There’s been a legion of thrillers about reality TV shows recently, but this stands out for the clever escape room-style puzzles that form part of the plot.
Good Housekeeping
‘A definite page-turner. The pace never slackens. One for people who like puzzles and contemporary themes and characters.’
Faith Martin, multi-million-copy bestselling author
'The pace is relentless, meaning there’s plenty to keep you entertained throughout.'
Belfast Telegraph
Smart, suspenseful and seriously tense, The Escape Room is the very definition of a page turner.
Culturefly
The Escape Room is thrilling, thought-provoking and exciting enough that you might – like me – tear through it over the course of one train journey.
My Weekly
'Dark, disturbing and addictive. A jaw-dropping thriller that delves into the best and worst of human nature in our fight to survive. Loved it'
L. C. North
A gripping debut thriller.
