They Did Bad Things: A Thriller

Twenty years ago six college students shared a house. A few months later, one of them was found dead in the living room following an end of year party. The police ruled his death an accident ... but the remaining students knew different. The truth of what happened to the 6th housemate has not stay buried. Today, the 5 remaining students, who haven't seen or talked to each other in years, all arrive at a crumbing, secluded mansion. All have been invited to be there by one pretext or another. Trapped inside with no way out and no signal to the outside world, the now forty-somethings fight each other—and the unknown mastermind behind their gathering—as they confront the role they played in their housemate’s death. They are given one choice: confess to their crimes or die. This was just an okay read for me. I honestly did not like any of the roommates and I didn't care for all the in-fighting and bickering, The story bounced back and forth in time which left me having to backtrack what I'd already read. I have ambivalent feelings about the ending. I wasn't invested in the story, so I found it less than suspenseful.
