The Other People by C.B. Everett

 

The Other People by C.B. Everett - 320 pages


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 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—lurks in the cellar?

Forget what you think you know.

Because while you can trust yourself, can you really trust The Other People?


I want to start by saying that I absolutely LOVE this book!  I love how the characters are intro'd in the beginning; somehow it made it so easy to remember who is who.  I love the different character's POV, including the Beast in the Cellar.  The Beast is a wonderful addition to the narrative.  This book is an ode to Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" and the author does a fantastic job of honoring that book but also making the story his own.  And the ending, my goodness the ending.  I sure the heck didn't see THAT coming, but damn it was brilliant!  Highly recommend this book; it's easily my favorite read this year.
