The Escape Room

“Fantastic – one of my favorite books of the year.”

Lee Child

“The pages turn themselves…THE ESCAPE ROOM delivers all that it promises. It is a sleek, well-crafted ride to a surprisingly twisty conclusion.”

New York Times Book Review

“Goldin’s debut The Girl in Kellers Way was a winner, but The Escape Room takes her mastery of the thriller to the next level – and the very last page.”

Herald Sun

“There is clearly no happy ending likely for the four colleagues trapped inside [the escape room]; but fans of JP Delany and Ruth Ware will want to be right in there with them…a nail-biting tale of a corporate team-building exercise gone horribly wrong.”

Booklist

“The Escape Room is a perfect balance of white-collar and psychological crime which plays on the one percent's penchant for a privileged life where lust, greed and murder equals wealth...Megan Goldin cleverly crafts a white-hot slow burn of a story filled with deceptive characters and murderous twists in the confines of a claustrophobic elevator.”
