ClareR (5726 KP) rated Elevator Pitch in Books

Oct 4, 2019 (Updated Oct 5, 2019)

Elevator Pitch is a fast paced thriller that will have you taking the stairs for a good while after reading it!

An elevator accident results in the death of four people: a pointless, tragic accident. When a second ‘accident’ occurs and a witness survives, it becomes obvious that these accidents are anything but that.

Two NYPD detectives investigating the murder and terrible disfigurement of the victim don’t immediately see a connection to the elevator deaths, but when they discover that he was an elevator service technician, they begin to become increasingly suspicious.

Well, this well-written thriller had me on the edge of my seat from the start. Honestly, I was as clueless to what was going on as the characters in the book. I really liked the gritty reporter, Barbara, who was determined to hold the city’s mayor to account. She was driven, single minded, with a real sense of justice. As were the two NYPD detectives. The mayor came across as a typically corrupt politician: unlikeable and selfish.

I’d really recommend this if you like tense thrillers - this delivers in spades!
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.
