Good listen

Overall a very good book. Well written with a developed storyline & characters. Narration was closer to 3 stars than 4. Audio has skips & the occasional missing word.

A Mystery within a Mystery

The Flat on the 7th Floor is an amazing book with an intricate plot twist that you will not see coming. The storyline has everything intrigue, lies, money, and hidden secrets that will shock you. I was hooked from the very beginning and this book did not disappoint me whatsoever. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves suspense and mystery. This is my honest unbiased review that I am voluntarily leaving of my own volition. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. My review is based on how much I loved this story.

You won't want to hit stop

I listened to this audio book following the lead character Josie, a working single woman whose life seems fairly ordinary, as she dated Nicholas and enjoyed the company of her friend Kim. Then she had to deal with her father who was very cold towards her and who seemed to have a lot to hide. I listened on and on as the story continuously took unexpected turns and was most impressed with the mystery and suspense behind it all. I thoroughly recommend you take the time to listen to this.

Interesting Mystery

Growing up, Josie was an only child. Her mother died when she was young, and her father continues to be distant and cold. After establishing herself in the business world, she moves into her mother’s old flat on the 7th floor. Josie’s life is about to take a turn when she discovers she is being followed, her friend is attacked, and her apartment is trashed. Further, she is not allowed to spend any time alone with her father. Someone is out to hurt her, and she must figure it out. The ending is not expected!

The author, E.L. Barry writes a suspense filled novel. The storyline is strong and has several plot twists. The characters are well developed, and the dialog is authentic moving the story forward. While the story is good and solidly written, it does seem a bit rushed at times. The plot twists are well done. Kim’s presence in the story is weakish, I would have liked her to be more involved.

The narrator, Emma Barry delivers a clear and strong performance. She speaks clearly and with the appropriate tone according to the situation and characters involved.

If you enjoy mysteries, this is a good book to hear as it has suspense, interesting characters, and an unexpected twist.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook, it was clear and well produced.
