Guess Who Chris McGeorge Books

1 murdered body. 5 suspects. 3 hours to solve the murder or else. Sounds intense right? Well, it sure was! If the movies CLUE and SAW had a book baby, Guess Who would be it.

Sheppard, the main character, was a troubled young man. He was popular on his TV show as a "detective," but an enemy to the room he was locked in. Even though his demons haunted him throughout the book, I still considered him to be a good person who genuinely wanted to solve who was behind this monstrous act.
 
Chris McGeorge's characterization of each individual was refreshing. Each person, or should I say suspects, in that hotel room had their own voice. I quickly picked up on their personality traits, but still had no idea who the murderer was.

Midway through, when you think you're about to get answers, nope! Damn you book tease. But, I did understand eventually why the author did that. It definitely helped out with the twist I wasn't expecting.

Overall, a thrilling ride I definitely enjoyed with non-stop, heart pumping action!

Guess Who Chris McGeorge Books Reviews

Well, this was something a little different, and a bit strange. But surprisingly compelling and thoroughly satisfying at the end. It's a rather convoluted plot to tell the truth so you do need your wits about you, especially as the majority of the cast are, shall we say, all a bit weird in their own ways. Yes it's a bit bizarre all told, a bit of belief has to be suspended along the way, but when all was said and done, it did all work out. And the cast, well, lets just say that this book is jammed full of secrets, lies and duplicitous behaviour so I will just say, don't take anything on face value, and most importantly, don't trust anyone.
So, our main character, Morgan Sheppard, wakes up in a hotel room. He is handcuffed to the bed. As he slowly starts to come around and starts to look around him, he is shocked to find he is not alone. There are five strangers in the room with him. More than that though as they soon discover, there is also a dead guy in the bathroom. If that wasn't enough, they receive a chilling message. He, Sheppard, has just three hours to solve the crime and name the murderer. Failure would mean death for all, more than just them in fact as the intention is to blow up the whole hotel. This should be easy for Sheppard as he once solved a murder at the ripe old age of eleven when he discovered the suicide of one of his teachers to really be murder and solved it to boot. Well, that and the fact that he is currently the "resident detective" on a prime time TV show. But things don't quite go according to plan as the time swiftly ticks down with no progress being made and more questions coming than answers. Can Sheppard unmask the killer before time runs out?
Boy this book kept delivering sucker punch after sucker punch. As the Monkees once said; "today there is no black or white, only shades of grey" and it will do you good to remember this! There are clues along the way but the author does a great job of obscuring them with drama and mayhem so they are easily lost in all the noise.
As well as following the action in the present we also get flashbacks to the past which add both information and context. We start to see how all the "strangers" fit together, some links being more tenuous than others and the bigger picture soon starts to come together nicely.
And what a picture to be revealed. Oh my, how intricate and convoluted and interconnected it all turned out to be. It's a story that has many elements that separately would probably not have ended this way but, when all put together, it's easy to see how things spiralled out of control.
I am so glad that I started this book on a day when I had nothing major planned. To say that I found it hard to put down would be an understatement indeed. I had so many things buzzing round my head throughout and I got myself in such a pickle with trying to follow the clues and guess the end that I eventually just gave up and let the author and the characters just lead me towards the big reveal. And when we got there, I was gobsmacked! Well done that author, take a bow.
I'm always shocked when a really great read turns out to be a debut book but on this occasion it just blew me away. Not only is it a wholly satisfying, cracking read but, for a debut, it is also very brave and indeed impressive. He has definitely set the bar very high for his next book to follow. One that I will definitely be looking out for with eager anticipation.
My thanks go to the Publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book.
I was very excited about this book after reading the description but unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. Morgan is not a person whose head you want to be in. He’s a self-absorbed man child with no redeeming qualities. When he wakes up in the locked room with strangers there is no one to take over the story and make the reader care what is happening. The other people in the room will bicker and the clock will keep ticking down but I just never cared where it was going. Many, many times I put this book down and never wanted to keep going. I paused this story with characters in peril and never cared what would happen next. Morgan’s apathy pervades this book. You just won’t care.

At about three quarters of the book the story jumps back for a long flashback to Morgan’s childhood which is a continuation of the prologue of the book. This flashback is lengthy and from the POV of a child and goes on far too long. This book has other flashbacks about Morgan that show his character as well but they are not as long. The crime in the flashback is very easy to solve because the clue was given away immediately that foreshadows what happened. The action revs up as the timeline goes back to the present and the ending but as a reader there is just no investment in the outcome. I wasn’t surprised to read the author’s note at the end tat this was written for his MA class. That could explain the absolute lack of anything worthwhile in the book. It was so academic that it’s completely devoid of any feeling or spark that would make it worth reading. I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Each time I thought I had the mystery solved, a twist would happen. Really showed how people think when they've been damaged in such a way as the villains.
Although I guessed some of the twists and turns, they are written so well I enjoyed the follow through. Good story.
Fun book! Will read more from the author.
I liked the plot, original and very intriguing. But the characters fell a little flat, I didn't feel connected or empathic towards them. I can't put my finger on something that bothered me throughout the whole book, maybe it was the flow of the book, something didn't work for me.
But the plot was really good and suspensful, I really loved the 1992 part. There was a good ammount of twists in the book, although I expected one final twist in the end which didn't happen.
But alltogether, a great debut.
