Trouble in a High Rise

Beau Smith’s latest identity is Skeeter Dursky, and he’s landed at a senior apartment building on Lake Michigan in Chicago. He’s been on the job for three days when someone from a previous location where the Witness Protection Program placed him walks in. Then someone dies, and the police lock down the building. Can Skeeter figure out what happened before his cover is completely blown again?

This book focuses more on the crime at hand than bringing Skeeter’s past too much into the story. However, it felt very light. The characters, even Skeeter, were thin, with the focus being on the plot. There is enough going on to keep us from seeing the solution until Skeeter brings it to light. I do enjoy the humor, including the gentle digs at cozies. The books are short enough that I still find myself enjoying them, but the tradeoff is that there isn’t time to develop anything fully. If you are interested and can find these on sale, then snap them up.

Kudos

So I both hate and love that they were being irresponsible during the pandemic. I had guys wanting to come to my place when the pandemic first began but I wasn't even going over to the boy's house that I REALLY wanted to see so I didn't have the time of day for men whose names I don't remember. Immy had the time for Honeypot tho and her friend Lucy was already shaming her for being irresponsible which means I don't need to continue the warnings about germs PLUS she did wash her hands once she got back into Nico's... I mean Nate's apartment.

Ethan's thoughts about his gf coming back from her childhood home with beanie babies and maybe creating a home library was freaking adorbs!

I love the cover of this book and how we get to take a look at how multiple couple's or situationship navigate being locked in together for seven days because a tenant has been exposed to the rona virus very frightening but this book makes it cute.
