Elevator Pitch is a book that left me with some mixed feelings. On the whole I really liked the idea of someone hacking into elevators and sending unsuspecting victims to some very gory deaths. It turns something which can be a bit mundane into something sinister and certainly made me wary getting into my hotel lift to the 15th floor after reading! The deaths portrayed are also nice and gruesome, they made me wince and shake my head quite a few times which was great.
My negatives were in all the padding around the crimes - for one there were way too many characters that we are introduced to and carried on hearing about all the way through the book. None of these particularly felt very fleshed out - perhaps because they didn't get enough 'screen time' and some of the loose ends disappeared into oblivion towards the end. We heard from the Mayor, his son, his aide, his PA, a journalist, her daughter, two detectives on the case (one of which I didn't even realise was female until the very end of the book), a shady businessman, his wife, a contracted killer as well as brief life histories and narration of a lot of the victims before their deaths - all of which felt way too much. It would have been better to just focus on Barbara, her daughter Arla and one of the detectives rather than trying to get into the minds of so many of the red herring or side characters.
The plot also seemed to jump around and provide way too many threads to keep the story sufficiently coherent. There was the menacing Russian government which felt too cliched to be real, a shady terrorist group called the Flyovers that I didn't at all understand the motives of, two blossoming love stories, unexplained vague flashbacks which weren't properly revealed until the very end, a detective facing psychological issues from a previous case which was also never properly clarified, family issues - it was just all too much.
Overall Elevator Pitch could have been more effective with a simpler approach for me - less characters and a more straight forward plot. Thank you to NetGalley and HQ Stories for a chance to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
