Additional Attendee by Josh Harper

A sarcastic and self-aware whodunit by Josh Harper, Additional Attendee is a smart, snarky, and satisfying high-rise mystery. A self-involved elder millennial named Paul is determined to catch his cheating wife in the act, but after finding a corpse, rather than a tryst, he ends up as a prime suspect in the suspected suitor’s murder. To complicate matters, Paul’s adulterous wife is missing, his lobby attendant crush is acting suspicious, and his tepid career as an actor makes it hard for the authorities to believe anything he says. Neurotic narration, gleefully cartoonish characters, and a twisting plot make this first installment of the Paul Whatshisname Mystery series a refreshingly original and entertaining thriller.
