Interesting book. One review said it was like reading a Fellini movie, and I would agree. Each chapter is told in first person by a different resident of the building, and each one's reflection on a murder victiom (no one liked him), and the suspected murderer (no one can believe it). I have not yet finished the book, but look forward to grabbing those last 30 minutes this weekend.
