Puzzle House: A Novel by Duncan Ralston

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Release: September 15, 2023

Synopsis: After the supposed death of puzzle master Alexi Vasiliev, six strangers are brought together for the mysterious reading of his will. Little do they know that they have instead been summoned to complete Vasiliev’s most complicated– and most deadly— puzzle yet. Will they be able to work together to make it out alive? 

Review: I would rate Puzzle House by Duncan Ralston 5 out of 5 stars. My only complaint is that I wish it had been longer so I could know what happens next! This book had my heart racing the entire time. Each page held a new terrifying scene waiting to be read. There were so many plot twists that I couldn’t see coming. I absolutely loved this book and would love to read Ralston’s future works as well.

If you like escape-room-based horror books, you need to check this one out. Honestly, if you like any horror books, you need to check this one out. It releases September 15, 2023, and I think it will be one of the best new horror books this fall. 

Thank you so much to NetGalley, Wicked House Publishing, and Duncan Ralston for the opportunity to review an ARC of Puzzle House: A Novel.
