Who doesn’t enjoy an escape room experience? I’m a sucker for games where you have to solve clues under pressure – but only a time pressure – not the life-or-death kind!

From Alice's list on psychological/crime that feature disturbing games.
While this book isn’t strictly a domestic noir thriller like Gone Girl, it has a similar tone. Four Wall Street bankers find themselves trapped in an elevator after being told they’d be taking part in an escape room. However, the book is more complicated than that. With ‘then’ and ‘now’ chapters, the story gradually unfurls to show you why these people were chosen. It’s about greed, Machiavellian personalities and, at its heart, female friendship. Don’t expect this one to be a locked-room thrill ride, but do expect to be drawn in.
From Sarah's list on for fans of Gone Girl.
