The Perfect Place to Die by Bryce Moore follows 17-year-old Zuretta as she takes a job at the notorious house of horrors after traveling to Chicago to find out what happened to her sister, Ruby. Zuretta takes a job at The Castle, the employment place of Ruby, to try and figure out what happened to her in the last days that she was seen. Women disappear in the middle of the night, she hears crying and yelling from within the walls, whispers follow her at night, and she has recurring nightmares. In the end, she finds herself against one of the most infamous mass murders in American history, and his custom made death-trap.

Okay so if you know anything about me, I am a sucker for thrillers. And this did not disappoint. I did not see any of the twists coming, but that could be because I suck at guessing them.

Each chapter began with a quote from the murderer himself. It gave it the extra mystery factor to me, and I really liked it.

The plot itself was good. I found the beginning a little confusing with the quotes at the beginning of each chapter, but it soon becomes clear it’s from the murderer.

Zuretta is a strong willed young woman, and I love that. She has qualities similar to Audrey Rose from Stalking Jack the Ripper, and it’s great. Both women are set in the 1800s, and they both want to be more than a ‘lady’.

If you are looking for a fast paced short YA thriller, this is for you!
