The author does an excellent job of using multiple points of view to tell the story of the murder or suicide of an executive in a parking garage. There are a number of effective twists. I would have liked a little more prominence of the Rio de Janeir ...more

As with many readers, I discovered W.W. Jacobs through "The Monkey's Paw," which appeared in my 9th grade English anthology. It's a great story, its horror heightened by occasional humor. For years, the only other work by Jacobs I could find was "The ...more
