Publisher's summary

Six strangers arrive at the home of preeminent puzzle master Alexei Vasiliev for the reading of his will.

Among them are the deceased's widow, who'd already begun divorce proceedings, a virologist troubled by actions in his past, and a convicted murderer on day release. The potential beneficiaries will split Vasiliev's $150M fortune if they participate in his last great work.

The choice is simple: leave the house with nothing or continue in the hope of solving the six interconnecting escape rooms within this house.

Once there, the participants soon discover Puzzle House is far deadlier than it appears and that making their way through the rooms may be a matter of life and death. Someone is watching their every move, toying with them, turning them against each other. With their lives on the line, they are forced to wonder, is it all just a deadly game created by a gleeful sadist or something far more sinister?

horror without a point

I think the puzzles in this puzzle house were clever, but I'm not into unending horror an unrealistic plot and a dismal ending. it was very well performed and I'm sure there are many who like this genre and enjoyed this.

I got into the characters very quickly. But the end...,...I'm torn. Will there be a sequel?

It was just meh

It was a decent premise but felt quite like a rip off of saw. The end felt rushed and lame to me.

The narrator

This is how to enjoy this book. Pretend it’s an early 90’s pc game and lean in to the camp of the whole thing. I listened at 1.7 and while the book is not good it was quick enough that I didn’t notice. Good for a late night drive in the summer in Pennsylvania.

A light listen but interesting

An interesting story that was well narrated. A bit of action and a few surprises kept things moving. I enjoyed it but probably wouldn’t pick up a sequel.
