Recensioner

This was a very well written story and I loved the duel mystery! I think the narration was a bit too slow, but once I sped it up, it flowed much better. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

“Always know what you’re walking into. Dark corners can be danger points.”
4/5 ★
Rachel Krall is a true crime podcaster. She is summoned at the request of the FBI to Florida with very little information as to why. When she gets there, she is informed that her name came up in an investigation and she’s asked whether she knows a prisoner, Terry Bailey, who is scheduled to get out in a few days. She does not know him, nor does she know why her name would be coming up in this investigation. A young influencer, Maddison Logan, had visited Terry and Rachel’s name came up during their conversation. She doesn’t know Maddison either; but later discovers that Maddison had reached out to Rachel requesting she investigate the disappearance of her friend….and then Maddison disappeared.
Rachel and the FBI decide to work together to try to solve this mystery. The FBI gets Rachel into an influencer event, BuzzCon, to see if she can get any information out of the attendees. Rachel can gather information from other attendees that the FBI won’t be able to get. While she’s pursuing leads on her own, and including the FBI, when she can, she discovers that there may be other victims of disappearance. When one of the BuzzCon attendees is murdered, Rachel finds herself as a suspect.
Rachel first appeared in Night Swim, which is written mostly as a podcast. This book is not written as a podcast, although we do get a few chapters done in that style. The author did a very good job describing what could be the life of an influencer – narcissism, cliques, and influencer rivalries. While it was interesting to read all of this, I found it unrelatable as a non-influencer but it was relevant to the story.

Wow! This author is quickly becoming one of my favorites. This is the 3rd book I’ve read by her and I’ve really enjoyed them all.

Liv wakes up late at night in the back of a cab. She can’t remember how she got there or where she’s going. In fact, the last thing she remembers is answering her phone in her office at work on a sunny July morning. She looks at her hands and sees notes written on them - Stay Awake! Wake Up! Don’t Trust Anyone - and is concerned. She gets even more concerned when she arrives at her apartment only to find other people living there. While standing outside, she realizes she has a t-shirt balled up in her hands and in the t-shirt is a bloody knife which she immediately tosses.

This begins the endless loop that Liv is living in. Every time she falls asleep, she wakes up with no memory of where she is or how she got there. It’s now Fall - two years after she answered that phone call in her office - and Wake Up has been written in blood on a window at the scene of a murder. Did Liv kill someone?

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press, the author and NetGalley for an eARC of this book.

One of the best books I've read this year. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the opportunity to read the ARC.

This book revolves around 4 Wall Street investment bankers - Vincent, Sylvie, Sam and Jules. They all work at the firm of Stanhope & Son. They put in grueling hours and have had to work on holidays and not be able to go on vacations with family because work comes first.

When the 4 of them get a message that they have to attend a team-building, they all go. When they arrive, they get in the elevator to be delivered to their escape room team-building challenge. They quickly realize that the elevator is their escape room.

The book is written by alternating stories. One is the escape room and the other story is of Sara Hall, an employee of Stanhope who has died. The book is very well-written and pretty intense. I really, really liked this book and highly recommend it.
