Another down from the Iain Rob Wright library. Escape is a story similar to The Housemates, in that it's a group of people trapped while someone secretly takes revenge on them. Cheryl is a new employee at a tiling sales company when she is invited by Maggie to a weekend getaway hosted by her manager. It turns out to be an escape room, but the stakes are higher than they thought.
I felt like the pacing and structure of the book was well-developed but I didn't like any of the characters. Not even Cheryl. She was naive and clumsy and got herself into more drama because of her actions. I liked the gradual reveal of the secrets behind the room and how it was all run.
The conclusion of the story was a nice twist and I liked the ending a lot. Hoping some other books by the author are enjoyable.
