Description

From USA Today bestselling author Robert Swartwood comes another bone-chilling thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

While on vacation in Las Vegas, a businessman wakes up in a strange hotel room to find a dead woman in the bathtub.

Panicked, he runs. But before he can get far, a pair of detectives stop him.

Desperate, he tells them that he’s innocent. That there’s no way he killed the woman. That he’ll do anything not to go to prison.

That’s when they offer him a way out.

But there is no way out—as the detectives will soon learn.

Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Michael Sloan, and Robert Crais, The Killing Room races readers from one revelation to the next at breathtaking speed.

Thank you NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!

I loved every second of this book!!! I was so addicted to this story. It was a fast-paced, thrilling ride with lots of surprising twists. It definitely gave me Taken/Night Agent/James Bond vibes! I was picturing the MC as a young Liam Neeson.
Robert Swartwood’s writing style was phenomenal and I just couldn’t get enough of this book! The ending left me hanging because this is the start to a new series, so now I’m going to have to patiently wait for book 2!

Thank you Thriller Book Lover Promotions and Blackstone Publishing for my advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!

As Katy Perry once said “That’s what you get for waking up in Vegas.” However, I’m not sure she was referring to waking up next to a dead body! LOL But that is exactly what happened to Stephen Walker. Though he doesn’t remember what happened the night before, he knows he is innocent and tells the detective that he will do anything to not go to prison.

This is my first book by Robert Swartwood and will definitely not be my last! I am so thankful for Thrillerbookloverpromotions for putting this one on my radar because it was one that I didn’t want to put down because I was so invested in the story and trying to figure out what was going to happen. It was such a fast paced novel and there were definitely times that I stayed up too late trying to finish the novel! Definitely one that I would recommend!!
