Publisher's Summary
A SUNDAY TIMES BEST PAPERBACK OF 2020!
'You should read ELEVATOR PITCH by Linwood Barclay as soon as possible. It's one hell of a suspense novel' STEPHEN KING
‘Moves as fast as a falling elevator and hits with just as much force. Linwood Barclay is a stone cold pro. ELEVATOR PITCH is a shameless good time’ JOE HILL
WHEN THE DOORS CLOSE, HE’S GOT YOU…
It begins on a Monday, when four people board an elevator in Manhattan. Each presses the button for their floor, but the elevator climbs, non-stop, to the top where it pauses for a few seconds, before dropping.
Right to the bottom of the shaft.
It appears to be a horrific, random tragedy. But then, on Tuesday, it happens again. And when Wednesday brings yet another catastrophe, New York, one of the most vertical cities in the world is plunged into chaos.
Clearly, this is anything but random. This is a cold, calculated bid to terrorize the city. And it’s working. But what do these deadly acts of sabotage have to do with the fingerless body found on the High Line?
It will be a race against time for detectives Jerry Borque and Lois Delgado to find the answers before a deadly Friday night showdown.
Number one bestseller Linwood Barclay returns with a heart-stopping thriller which will do for elevators what Psycho did for showers and Jaws did for the beach…

Witty, clever and beautifully read

All the threads tied up beautifully by the end!
This book was fantastic to listen to- the narration was awesome! I really liked the one chapter interludes about regular people in New York. This book had me think along with the story, trying to guess what would come next. Overall, I really enjoyed this book!

A gripping, fast paced novel.
I had to get past the grating American accent of the narrator, but after a while I got used to it. His various voices for the characters was entertaining. The story has lots of different parts to it in the beginning, but the author pulls them all together and creates a story that I couldn't stop listening to. I wanted to know what happened! I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Not bad
I liked the pace of the book and how it developed with an air of mystery leaving you wanting more information. The twist was good. The vocal performance was easy to listen to and interesting. I could see this book becoming a movie or series.
