Nine adults and a child in a big old house.....
"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."
I liked the Christie reference in the beginning of the book, but it didn't last long. The Other People has a darker feel - no cozy here!
The unknowing is frightening for the ten. Tempers flare as they go exploring the house. But, the house is never the same for any of them.
I disliked all of the characters - except for the child. The behavior of the nine doesn't make sense - they wander around eating, getting a good nap in and more. Not quite the reactions I would have expected. Oh, and don't go down to the basement.
The final revelation is certainly one I could one never have predicted. And it changed what I had thought. Very clever, but sadly it came too late for this reader. Read an excerpt here.
