Description
‘A blackly funny twist on the Country House mystery, with bodies and wit galore’ John Connolly
And Then There Were None meets The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle.
Ten strangers.
An old dark house.
A killer picking them off one by one.
And a missing girl who's running out of time. . .
Ten strangers wake up inside an old, locked house. They have no recollection of how they got there.
In order to escape, they have to solve the disappearance of a young woman.
But a killer also stalks the halls of the house, and soon the body count starts to rise.
Who are these strangers? Why were they chosen? Why would someone want to kill them?
And who – or what – is the Beast in the Cellar?
Forget what you think you know.
Because while you can trust yourself, can you really trust THE OTHER PEOPLE?
‘The Other People chilled me to the bone, made me laugh out loud - and everything in between. This devilishly clever mystery holds you captive from its explosive opening, right up to its shocking final pages. I never saw the twist coming, yet it made perfect sense. Brilliant!’ Alison Gaylin

What on earth did I just read! WOW! My mind is BLOWN!
I can't be the only avid reader who craves something completely different and unexpected in my psychological thriller reads? If that's you, here's your next read! A locked room mystery but with one hell of a jaw dropping twist - and even better, you don't get it until the very end, so You. Just. Can't. Stop. Reading!
I was gripped by the writing and so immersed in this weird situation, with absolutely NO CLUE about what or why, I was totally mesmerised.
10 strangers wake in a huge mansion with no idea how they got there. They are given 12 hours to find a missing girl, but as they start searching for clues, they are gradually being picked off and murdered. They can't trust each other because one of them is a killer. Who's next and who will be the one left standing? And what about the missing girl?
The 10 characters were a real mix; Kyle, a uni student, glamorous businesswoman Diana Landor, aggressive ex-cop Len, single mum Cerys and the rest of them, who you will get to know when you read the book. Some likeable, some absolutely vile and lots of in-betweens.
A really brilliant read!
