Well, this was just delightful. If you were ever a fan of the old, mid-century, gothic novels have I got a book for you. It's creepy and atmospheric, featuring a truly horrible family house party where everyone's dying to leave, but no one can get away. There's an ADHD hero (actually, I think he's more AuDHD--there's that whole justice sensitivity thing) that I absolutely loved. And all the plot twists you could ask for.
I'll be amazed (not to mention seriously disappointed) if this doesn't get turned into a film along the lines of Mousetrap, Deathtrap, or And Then There Were None.
All of Us Murders
Then the master of the house announces the true purpose of the gathering: he intends to leave the vast family fortune to whoever marries his young ward, setting off a violent scramble for her hand. Zeb wants no part of his greedy family–but when he tries to leave, the way is barred. The walls of Lackaday House are high, and the gates firmly locked. As the Dartmoor mists roll in, there’s no way out. And something unnatural may be watching them from the house’s shadowy depths…
Fear and paranoia ramping ever-higher, Zeb has nowhere to turn but to the man who once held his heart. As the gaslight flickers and terror takes hold, can two warring lovers reunite, uncover the murderous mysteries of Lackaday House–and live to tell the tale?
