After finishing work at the Tempest Theatre for the final time, six teenagers lock the doors and clean up before trying to exit the building only to discover they have been locked in and Clayton, the manager, who is spiralling out of control, is the only person with the keys. He has a 'no-phones' policy at work so the teenagers have no way of communicating with their families and no way of leaving and Clayton, they discover, has a gun! With no power, boarded doors and an abandoned mall, the teenagers have to find a way to survive the night.

Natalie D Richards certainly knows how to write a gripping YA suspense story and `'Four Found Dead`' was no exception. I enjoyed Jo's narration. She was a strong character who remained level-headed despite the chaos around her. The tension and suspense were palpable throughout the story and while I have no idea why Clayton wanted to kill the teenagers, it was still a fun, action-packed read. ( )

For Found Dead was an easy read. It is your cliche thriller. Even though there were a couple of things that surprised me most of it I was able to guess. I’m not sorry that I read it and not by any means saying don’t read it. It held my attention and was good just a little predictable and I felt there was no wow factor. ( )

YA novel about teens who work in a movie theater. It is their last night, and the manager is a volatile young man. When Jo, who is still living through the trauma that took her dad 9 years earlier, sees him with a gun, she is petrified.
Then, things start to get worse. The lights all go out, they are locked inside, no escape - as the mall is under construction and exits have been boarded up against regulations. Jo tries to overcome her fears as she and her friends are in danger. It is a harrowing night.
The book was a bit repetitive to me. I got that they were scared and were trapped, but it seemed that this was repeated in multiple chapters. ( )
