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 TVâs âresident detective,â solving the more typical tawdry daytime talk show mysteries like âWho is the father?â and âIs he cheating?â
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 doesnât find the killer, they all will die.
An ingenious, page-turning debut, Chris McGeorgeâs Guess Who matches the high-wire plotting of classic âlocked roomâ mysteries into the unstoppable pacing of the modern-day thriller.
