The concept reminded me of the Hulu show, Only Murder’s in the Building, but the book had none of the style that is so charming in that show. The characters were not likable so I was unattached to them and, consequently, didn’t really care about their fates. The ending lacked conviction. And I loathe repetitive writing such as, in this case, the repetitive character descriptions. The narrator keeps, for instance, referring the the apparently appealing scent of male sweat. I did, however, find some things to like. I thought that shifting the perspective to different characters in the building with each chapter was a clever structure for the concept of a closed door mystery taking place in this apartment building. The mystery was intriguing enough for me to want to find the answer and keep reading. Solid 3 stars.
