Looking for your next suspense/mystery book? Look no further! The Escape Room is the real deal.

Easily 5 stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I am pleased to report I was into this book every step of the way. The characters and the story are perfectly developed to keep the reader's interest and build the suspense. The book is a fresh take on corporate corruption and the things it will push desperate people to do.

Another thing this book does perfectly that I have found distracting and annoying in books I have read recently is time jumping. This book goes back and forth between time periods seamlessly and without and confusion. And, all the story elements from the past are placed exactly where they need to be between sections of the present to give the reader just enough without giving everything away.

Finally - I held my breath during this book. I was angry during this book. I yelled at this book. I shook my fist at this book in frustration. I grinned in triumph when characters got what they deserved. In other words, this book got me super invested and that is ALWAYS a good thing!

I will happily recommend this book highly to anyone looking for an entertaining, suspense, and completely satisfyingly read.
