If you like thrillers then Linwood Barclay is the man. His books, although each one different, offer you the same thing. They are thrilling, fast paced, action packed and take you on a complete journey. Elevator Pitch was all of these things and with a dose of added fright!!
I love the city of New York so was thrilled that the setting was here. Of course in a city that has an abundance of high-rise buildings and relies on its elevators the plot behind this novel was terrifying.
Synopsis:
A series of elevator, in different buildings, on consecutive days malfunction leading to a number of deaths. With the Mayor and the police taking action to investigate these acts of terrorism the city's elevators are in lock down. Alongside this a man is found dead with his fingers missing. Can the NYPD get to the bottom of both of these cases?
There were so many characters and subplots in this novel that wove together to create a fantastic read. As the book progressed it also picked up the pace and I found at times I was holding my breath due to my anxiety levels rising (mainly at the elevator scenes)!!
I would definitely recommend this to all Linwood Barclay fans out there and to those who love to be psychologically scared. For me this was a great thriller and in true Barclay style an action packed ending that had me literally sitting on the edge of my chair.
Thank you to Netgalley and HQ publishers for my e-ARC
