Publisher's summary

Six strangers arrive at the home of preeminent puzzle master Alexei Vasiliev for the reading of his will.

Among them are the deceased's widow, who'd already begun divorce proceedings, a virologist troubled by actions in his past, and a convicted murderer on day release. The potential beneficiaries will split Vasiliev's $150M fortune if they participate in his last great work.

The choice is simple: leave the house with nothing or continue in the hope of solving the six interconnecting escape rooms within this house.

Once there, the participants soon discover Puzzle House is far deadlier than it appears and that making their way through the rooms may be a matter of life and death. Someone is watching their every move, toying with them, turning them against each other. With their lives on the line, they are forced to wonder, is it all just a deadly game created by a gleeful sadist or something far more sinister?

horror without a point

I think the puzzles in this puzzle house were clever, but I'm not into unending horror an unrealistic plot and a dismal ending. it was very well performed and I'm sure there are many who like this genre and enjoyed this.

It is definitely horror

This is so far outside my normal reading/listening as to be the next universe. I finished it, just to find out the ending. And it was, if you could get through the horror and gore, an amazing listen. Well written, well read, and not something I'd listen to again. YMMV.

Not bad

Narrator was good. Story was a bit meh but not bad. Felt a bit rushed. Definitely kept me listening though.

not a great mystery

for an escape room style book the puzzles are all poor for the most part and the twist revealed part way through just changes the context but then doesn't really justify or explain much of the outcome. From someone who enjoys good world building I was left wanting a lot.
