Five entered the escape room. Only four came out alive.
Lisa
Ashton receives a last-minute reprieve from death two weeks before her
birthday. Regaining consciousness, she is horrified to learn one of her
friends has been killed – and saved her life.
As she recovers,
she uncovers a trail of carefully guarded reputations, disturbing
rumours, and lies. Soon, Lisa begins to wonder if one of her friends is
hiding a terrible secret. Because five of them entered the escape room
that day, and only four got out alive.
And someone is determined to cover their tracks before she can find out the truth.

Quite a different story is what this was. We get to read the P.O.V.'s from a small group of people. Lisa, being the main one but also Hayley, Beca and David too. It makes for quite the mystery and filled with a lot of emotion too. They go way back but it hasn't been all sunshine and roses. The story is filled with secrets that they are each holding. Secrets held both separately and as a group. Interesting people though is what they are even as different as they are from each other.
Yikes, Detective Constable Angela Forbes was a rude, tenacious terror. When she sank her teeth into these investigations, she never let go. Truth be told, I didn't like her. But the writer did a great job at getting me to hate her and her tactics. Still, she does get the job done and a lot of truths do come out and the end result is stunning in it's conclusions.
I read this story through the HOOPLA Library App.
