ELEVATOR PITCH

 Linwood Barclay. ELEVATOR PITCH. Penguin, Random House, Doubleday, 2019.



Found a good copy in a thrift store. I do not often choose this writer because I find his stories just too scary. This one, not too bad. 3 or 4 gory scenes, and a plot designed to make me never step into an elevator again, but...The plot kept me reading fast. Mother-daughter protagonists kept me cheering. The father/son conflicts were sadly believable. And the karma coming to a cruel politician, well, yes, bring it on.
