When four Wall Street colleagues are brought to a closed office building for a team building, they find themselves in an escape room scenario. They not only need to solve the puzzles to figure out why they are trapped in this elevator, but they also need to get out alive.

The book alternates chapters from the past where we see how these co-workers were in their office environment to present day when they are trapped in the elevator. We learned so much about each of these characters and how working in the cutthroat world of Wall Street shaped them into the people they are in the present day.

Megan Goldin did an excellent job of making you feel like you’re in the elevator with these characters. I felt claustrophobic while reading the story, and if I wasn’t afraid of elevators before, I certainly am now! These characters are all start out ruthless, but we see their lives fall apart the longer they’re in the elevator together and the more their secrets come out. It’s hard to say anything else without giving too much of the plot away so I just highly recommend that you read this one especially if you like thrillers or locked room-mysteries.
