Review: The Escape Room by Megan Goldin

Author:Megan Goldin
Publisher; Penguin eBooks
Date of publication: May 2018;
Re-issue by St. Martins Press August 2019

Vincent, Jules, Sylvie, and Sam are ruthlessly ambitious high-flyers working in the lucrative world of Wall Street finance where deception and intimidation thrive. Getting rich is all that matters, and they'll do anything to reach the top.

When they are ordered to participate in a corporate team-building exercise that requires them to escape from a locked elevator, dark secrets of their team begin to be laid bare.

The biggest mystery to solve in this lethal game: What happened to Sara Hall? Once a young shining star—”now gone but not forgotten”.

This is no longer a game. 
They’re fighting for their lives.


Don't you just love when you go into a book not really knowing anything about it and find yourself just devouring it?  That is what happened when I picked up The Escape Room.  I loved this book.   The book involves four people who are summoned to do a mandatory team building exercise involving an Escape Room game.  Once they all enter the elevator, it quickly becomes clear that this isn't just your ordinary escape room game.  

The book goes between the present in the elevator and the past narrated by Sarah Hall.  She is an ambitious business school graduate who is hired to work in a prestigious firm on Wall Street.  That is all you need to know going into the book.  The story was pretty fast paced and kept me engaged.  I had an idea of who was behind everything, but I didn't know the why or the how.  That was the best part of the book.     I highly recommend this one.  I  have a feeling it will make my top 10 of 2018.

I love the sound of this one. Escape Rooms have become so popular, and this seems like a thrilling take on them.
