"A blackly funny twist on the country house mystery, with bodies and wit galore."
The Other People
A Novel
Description
From “one of the brightest stars in the British crime writing firmament” (John Connolly, New York Times bestselling author), a twisty thriller that combines Agatha Christie with Shutter Island as it follows a group of strangers in a race against time to stop a serial killer.
Ten strangers.
An old dark house.
A killer picking them off one by one.
And a missing girl who’s running out of time…
And then there was one.
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 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—lurks in the cellar?
Forget what you think you know.
Because while you can trust yourself, can you really trust The Other People?
Reviews
"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!"
"A labyrinthine fever dream with hidden depths and an irresistible sense of fun."
*Praise for the other novels of CB Everett/Martyn Waites*
