Summary
When Ed Lowry, a much despised landlord, falls to his death from his twenty-story high-rise building, all his disgruntled tenants are suspected of murder, including the pot-dealing brothers Lowry's been blackmailing and the pretty young girls who run a soft-core porn webcam down the hall. Recently widowed, retired cop Sam McGowan also lives in the building, and when he starts to investigate his landlord's suspicious suicide, he learns more about his neighbors than he ever wanted to.
Critique
Slick writing, plenty of action, and a group of motley characters give readers plenty to like in this fast-paced mystery. Clever, funny, and suspenseful. Great escape reading. Highly recommend.
