The Escape Room was published by St. Martin's Press on 07/30/2019. I was given a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Listen. I read a lot of thrillers so take this with a grain of salt. I guessed the ending right around the third chapter. Instead of me wondering what would happen in the book, it was more of me waiting to find out how they were going to bring my ending to life. I was pretty disappointed to find out I was right. I was bummed that the story was so predictable.
Vincent, Jules, Sylvie, and Sam are top performers for their Wall Street business. All they care about is getting rich, and they'll step on anyone in the way of the path to greatness.
When they're summoned to an office building late at night and wind up stuck in an elevator, they believe they've been tricked into doing some type of team-building activity.
When their secrets start to come out and a deceased employee is mentioned, they finally realize that this may not be a game after all.......that they may actually be fighting for their lives.

If you're just looking for a quick thriller to take your mind off things, this book will definitely do the trick. I'm glad I didn't buy it, because I wouldn't read it again. It just felt like a story I had already read so many times. There wasn't anything special about it, and that bummed me out. Ask me about this book in a year and I probably won't be able to tell you about it. It was completely predictable and forgettable.
