Publisher's Summary

'Welcome to the escape room. Your goal is simple. Get out alive.'

In the lucrative world of Wall Street finance, Vincent, Jules, Sylvie and Sam are the ultimate high-flyers. Ruthlessly ambitious, they make billion-dollar deals and live lives of outrageous luxury. Getting rich is all that matters, and they'll do anything to get ahead.

When the four of them become trapped in an elevator escape room, things start to go horribly wrong. They have to put aside their fierce office rivalries and work together to solve the clues that will release them. But in the confines of the elevator the dark secrets of their team are laid bare. They are made to answer for profiting from a workplace where deception, intimidation and sexual harassment thrive.

Tempers fray and the escape room's clues turn more and more ominous, leaving the four of them dangling on the precipice of disaster. If they want to survive, they'll have to solve one final puzzle: which one of them is a killer?

Brilliant page turner

Great plot twists that keep you guessing till the end. Short, sharp and keeps you interested.

Kept me listening for more

Really enjoyed listening to this. Yes, most of the characters are shallow and despicable, but I was kept hanging, wondering how it was all going to pan out. Lots of twists and turns. I’d recommend.

twists and turns intrigue

We enjoyed the dialogue. Complex story line but easy to follow. Didn't predict the outcome which added to its intrigue. Good narration.

Great but end disappointing

Great book - well narrated - unfortunately the end was poorly done - doesn’t match the characters - missing a chapter probably because the whole thing would fall apart upon realisation - characters developed then turned into B-grade cardboard cut-outs which differed to the people - I liked it until towatds the end when it became unreal and contradictory. Poorly developed.

Awesome premise and very disappointing ending

The narration was great, the premise was great, the ending was absurd and it felt all crammed into the last half hour with a ridiculous and entirely unbelievable "twist". Predictable and ultimately disappointing after the first half.

Kazablanka's review

I agree with most of the other posted comments. The story was well constructed. The cast of (mostly despicable) characters all had great backstories. The narrator had a captivating voice, and the book was difficult to put down. But the end was disappointing - after the slow, patient buildup a lot happened really fast. There were also a few plot points where things weren't quite realistic. Definitely worth the read, but I wouldn't give it 5 stars.
