Very complicated, presented in non-linear form and from multiple points-of-view, including flashbacks. You really have to pay attention but it's worth it. Angst-ridden college students grow up to be angst-ridden adults and are reunited to face consequences. The how and why is complex and surprising, and there are more twists and turns, subtle reveals, and spooky tension to satisfy both the lovers of mysteries/crime novels as well as horror/haunted houses. Plays with your mind in that you think you know who a key player is and then you don't, or you think you know who dunnit and then you question it. A real page-turner, I couldn't put it down but it took until about page 72 until things started to get there. Five people arrive separately at Wolfheather House, a secluded mansion on an isle in Scotland, after being lured by false pretenses. What do these 5 people have in common? Twenty years ago, they all lived together in a house while attending university along with one other person. But that sixth person had been found dead on the couch one morning after a party almost 20 years ago. The death was ruled an accident, but the five other housemates know the truth. Now they are trapped together in the mansion and they either have to confess their crimes or die. This book sounded interesting and although I didn’t find myself bored per say, I did find it hard to follow along due to the formatting and writing. I’m not sure if this was caused from it being an electronic early reviewer copy or not. *I received a reviewer copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

"Murder on the Orient Express meets The Last Time I Lied in this gripping thriller set in a remote Scottish mansion. In 1995, six university students moved into the house at 215 Caldwell Street. Months later, one of them was found dead on the sofa the morning after their end-of-year party. His death was ruled an accident by the police. The remaining five all knew it wasn't, and though they went on with their lives, the truth of what happened to their sixth housemate couldn't stay buried forever. Twenty years later, all five of them arrive-lured separately under various pretenses-at Wolfheather House, a crumbling, secluded mansion on the Scottish Isle of Doon. Trapped inside with no way out and no signal to the outside world, the now forty-somethings fight each other-and the unknown mastermind behind their gathering-as they confront the role they played in their housemate's death. They are given one choice: confess to their crimes or die. They Did Bad Things is a deviously clever psychological thriller about the banality of evil and the human capacity for committing horror"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
