Guess Who

Guess WhoThe rules are simple.

But the game is not.

At eleven years old, Morgan Sheppard solved the murder of a teacher when everyone else believed it to be a suicide. The publicity surrounding the case laid the foundation for his reputation as a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. He parlayed that fame into a gig as TV’s “resident detective,” solving the more typical tawdry daytime talk show mysteries like “Who is the father?” and “Is he cheating?”

Until, that is, Sheppard wakes up handcuffed to a bed in an unfamiliar hotel room. Around him, five strangers are slowly waking up, as well. Soon they discover a corpse in the bathtub and Sheppard is challenged to put his deductive skills to the test. One of the people in the room is the killer. He has three hours to solve the murder. If he doesn’t find the killer, they all will die.

Meh...I was a little disappointed by this book.  The synopsis sounded so engaging to me I had to give it a try.  The story centers around a man known as a TV detective and whether or not he really is who he portrays to be.  I had high hopes when I started the book, but it just never quite became what I anticipated.  I will say, it did read quickly because I wanted to know what would happen, but I just felt like it fell short of what was promised.
