<b>An autumn 2021 pick for <i>New York Times * </i><i>Observer * </i><i>Esquire</i> * <i>O Quarterly * </i><i>Chicago Tribune</i> * Shondaland</b><b> '[A] gripping piece of storytelling' </b><i>GUARDIAN</i><b>'Brilliantly conceived and unsettling' </b><i>SUNDAY TIMES</i><b>'Clever, insightful and unnerving' </b><i>OBSERVER </i><i>Most people didn't make it to Cell Six, he said. Most called out the safe word </i>- <i>reprieve </i>- <i>after the first Cell. It was that intense.</i> When Bryan, Jaidee, Victor and Jane team up to compete at a full-contact escape room, it seems simple. Hold your nerve through six terrifying challenges; collect all the red envelopes; win a huge cash prize. But the real horror is unfolding outside of the game, in a series of deceits and misunderstandings fuelled by obsession and prejudice. And by the end of the night, one of the contestants will be dead. A startlingly soulful exploration of complicity and masquerade, <i>Reprieve </i>combines the psychological tension of classic horror with searing social criticism, and seamlessly threads together trial transcripts, evidence descriptions, and deeply layered individual narratives to present a chilling portrait of American life.
