About this audiobook
The rules are simple.
But the game is not.
At eleven years old, Morgan Sheppard solved the murder of a teacher when everyone else believed it to be a suicide. The publicity surrounding the case laid the foundation for his reputation as a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. He parlayed that fame into a gig as TV’s “resident detective,” solving the more typical tawdry daytime talk show mysteries like “Who is the father?” and “Is he cheating?”
Until, that is, Sheppard wakes up handcuffed to a bed in an unfamiliar hotel room. Around him, five strangers are slowly waking up, as well. Soon they discover a corpse in the bathtub and Sheppard is challenged to put his deductive skills to the test. One of the people in the room is the killer. He has three hours to solve the murder. If he doesn’t find the killer, they all will die.
An ingenious, page-turning debut, Chris McGeorge’s Guess Who matches the high-wire plotting of classic “locked room” mysteries into the unstoppable pacing of the modern-day thriller.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very well written. I also found the characters to be well fleshed out. You most definitely get a feel for all of them, and the narrator does an excellent job with each. Some are less deserving of sympathy than others, and figuring that out is part of the fun of the ride :) .
Just a warning however, the title and description are not completely accurate. This thoroughly enjoyable book is less ‘whodunnit’, and more psychological thriller. If that’s your cup of tea, listen on...
