Story
Paul Davis is hearing some very strange noises in the night. He hears the clickety-click of a manual typewriter - as if someone is vigorously tapping the keys. The eerie sounds began soon after his wife, Charlotte, bought him a classic antique Underwood. But only Paul can hear the noises. Eight months ago, he stumbled upon Connecticut's infamous "Apology Killer" - a psychopath who forced his victims to typewrite personal apologies to him before he cut their throats - disposing of two mutilated bodies on Milford's Post Road. Most shocking of all, the killer was his colleague, someone he thought he knew.

It’s not a life without hassles, but nothing will prepare him for when his daughter, Sydney, vanishes into thin air. At the hotel where she supposedly worked, no one has ever heard of her. Even her closest friends seem to be at a loss. As he retraces Sydney’s steps, Tim discovers that the suburban Connecticut town he always thought of as idyllic is anything but.

Tech millionaire Miles Cookson has more money than he can ever spend and everything he could dream of - except time. He has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and there is a 50 percent chance that it can be passed on to the next generation. For Miles, this means taking a long hard look at his past. Two decades ago, a young, struggling Miles was a sperm donor. Somewhere out there, he has kids - nine of them. And they might be about to inherit both the good and the bad from him - maybe his fortune, or maybe something much worse.

Number-one New York Times best-selling author Harlan Coben set huge sales records with last year’s Six Years - and he’s poised to do it again in his next breathtaking stand-alone thriller. Harlan Coben, author of six consecutive instant number-one New York Times best sellers and a total of 24 award-winning, best-selling, and internationally acclaimed novels, returns with another ripped-from-real-life thriller full of impossibly high emotional stakes and the real-to-life characters for which he has become famous.

Publisher's Summary
Instant National Best Seller
The number one best-selling Linwood Barclay returns with an edge-of-your-seat thriller that does for elevators what Psycho did for showers and Jaws did for the beach - a heart-pounding tale of terror and menace that will make you think twice the next time you hit up.
It all begins on a Monday, when four people board an elevator in a Manhattan office tower. Each presses a button for their floor, but the elevator proceeds, nonstop, to the top. Once there, it pauses for a few seconds, but the doors don't open. Instead, the elevator begins to descend floor-by-floor. Then it plummets. Right to the bottom of the shaft.
It appears to be a random accident.... But on Tuesday, it happens again, in a different Manhattan skyscraper. And then Wednesday brings yet another tragic high-rise catastrophe. In only three days, one of the most vertical cities in the world - and the nation's capital of media, finance, and entertainment - is plunged into chaos. Clearly, this is anything but random. This is a cold, calculated bid to terrorize the city. And it's succeeding. Fearing for their lives, thousands of men and women working in offices across the city refuse to leave their homes. Commerce has slowed to a trickle. Emergency calls to the top floors of apartment towers go unanswered. Who is behind this? Why are they doing it? Are these deadly acts of sabotage somehow connected to a fingerless body found on the High Line?
Two seasoned New York detectives and a straight-shooting journalist race against time to uncover the truth before the city's newest, and tallest, residential tower has its ribbon-cutting on Friday night. With each diabolical twist, Linwood Barclay ratchets up the tension, building to a shattering finale. Elevator Pitch is a riveting tale of psychological suspense that is all too plausible...and will chill you to the bone.
What the critics say
"Read Elevator Pitch as soon as possible. It's one hell of a suspense novel." (Stephen King)
"This novel moves as fast as a falling elevator and hits with just as much force. Linwood Barclay is a stone cold pro and Elevator Pitch is a shameless good time." (Joe Hill, number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Fireman and Strange Weather)
"Elevator Pitch is a white-knuckle ride of a book with twists on every level." (Gilly Macmillan, New York Times best-selling author of What She Knew)

Asked for a Refund
I own over 400 audio book -90% Detective and Mystery, and I am very patient in allowing the author to develop their story. But after almost two hours of listening, I had had enough. Too many sub plots, cliched characters, and stereotypes. The good thing is I risked nothing by giving this book a try. Thank goodness for Audibles refund policy.

Very Meh.
The story isn't all that captivating, but decent. I expected more thrill but that wasn't the case. The reader was rather awkward. His voices didn't seem consistent and at times were just weird, and he enunciated odd words.

Some voices too soft
I understand the “performance” part of the reading, but when one of your characters speaks only in soft almost whispers, I can’t hear it in the car or the subway and always have to stop and go back. Which is tough when driving.

Ok
This is my first audio book I’ve listened to and I love Linwood Barclay’s books so it was a little different hearing it through someone else. I didn’t care for the narrator. His character voices were annoying. As for the story itself it’s not one of his better books but it was alright.
