General Description: Jo works in a movie theatre in a mall. It's the last day at Jo's workplace because the movie theatre must shut down to allow for renovations/destruction of the mall and theatre to occur. However, when Jo's manager goes off the traditional schedule, Jo and her co-workers have to figure out how to approach him to get their keys and phones back from the locked safe. When the lights go out, and a dead body is found, Jo quickly realizes it is a life or death situation to get out of the movie theatre/mall with as many co-workers as possible. How many will make it out alive?
The goods:
- I know the book is titled 4 found dead, but the journey of the deaths was interesting and twisty.
- I have not read a lot of books where they take place in one setting without the folks leaving, but i felt like this was dynamic enough of a place where it kept me engaged in the book without itching to leave the theatre/mall.
- The side characters were all different and made me root for each of them in their own way (well, except the manager. he sucked).
- I did not really see any of the twists that came in this book, which kept me on my toes.
The loss of a star:
- Half a star off -- It was a bit slow and confusing in the beginning, especially once you get further in the book because...
- The other half star off -- ...I feel like there were some plots that were not completely tied up, and for this being a stand-alone, I want all the plot holes tied up.
Overall, I would recommend the physical book over the audio due to the narrator, and if you're looking for a book set in one place, with lots of tension and twists, this book should be next on your TBR!
