ELEVATOR PITCH by Linwood Barclay
Ok, this novel caught my eye because it was described as elevator accidents occurring in NYC one after the other and they weren’t a coincidence. Now, I have been stuck in an elevator recently, at work. I was on my way up to the top, 6th floor, and it just stopped suddenly between the 5th and 6th floors. I pressed the floor buttons – nothing happened. I pressed the alarm – nothing happened. I pressed the phone button and got a response. I was stuck in there for about 30 minutes before they got the doors open so I could step out. So yeah, I suppose we all feel a little uneasy when riding an elevator and we hear a strange noise or feel it jerk suddenly or pause for a moment. You are completely helpless in that moment – it’s not a good feeling.
