Simply - five people, five suspects, one killer.
Morgan Sheppard, a thoroughly despicable reprobate, has made a career as a TV "detective" after solving the murder of his maths teacher when aged 11yo. So why is he now handcuffed in a hotel room, and given three hours to solve the murder of the mysterious man in the bathtub.
I loved this! A homage to the classic "locked room" mystery - the tension is palpable, claustrophobia; the suspects random; the past always hovering just left of centre; the story well paced with carefully crafted plot twists and turns to keep you guessing the the very end; edge of the seat reading at its best.
