Some novels start out with such a bizarre beginning that it catches your attention. When you pick it up to read, it starts out in a way you didn't expect. That's exactly what I felt when I started reading Chris McGeorge's novel GUESS WHO. I must say that I loved it from the beginning to the end. I wholeheartedly recommend adding this suspense novel to your reading list. McGeorge's debut shows he has a gift for psychological suspense. When I learned McGeorge wrote this novel as his thesis for a creative writing class at City University London, I was very impressed - it is one of the best thrillers I have read.

Morgan Sheppard wakes up in a hotel handcuffed to a bed with five strangers also slowly waking up. With a dead body in the room's bathroom leaving one of the people trapped in the room as the murderer. Sheppard has to use his detective skills that he uses on TV where he is portrayed as a "resident detective" which made him famous. Does he really have what it takes to solve the mystery before it is too late?

Morgan's reputation for solving mysteries came from when he was 11 years old and he solved the mystery of a teacher who appears to look as he took his own life but was really murdered. Can he live up to his reputation? Is he really a natural detective or just someone searching for fame? And why would someone trap him and these five strangers into a locked hotel room with no way out until the mystery is solved within three hours?

I cannot wait to read more from Chris McGeorge in the future! There is talent there for more amazing novels. GUESS WHO will have you guessing the whole way. I enjoyed and love reading this suspense and hope to read more!
