A review by booktrishandmagic
The Other People by C.B. Everett

medium-paced

3.0

I love a good locked-room mystery, but The Other People left me feeling conflicted. The plot was nothing new—your typical setup with strangers trapped in a house—but it kept me reading, mostly out of sheer curiosity (and confusion). I spent most of the book wondering what was going on and why the characters were making such terrible decisions. The final twist, though? That had *shock appeal.* I didn’t see it coming. The gasp I gused. 😆 

 

That said, a lot of the story felt unbelievable, requiring a serious suspension of disbelief. The characters? Hated all of them. But despite my frustration, I was engaged the whole time. If you like mysteries that leave you guessing (and slightly bewildered), this one might be worth a read.
