―The Wall Street Journal

“Barclay [is] always good for a touch of cardiac arrest. . . . Chilling . . . wildly inventive and really scary.”

―The New York Times

―The Sunday Times

“As the plot moves along and another elevator goes down, readers are trapped, just like the victims, in the driving plot, which turns out to be very scarily plausible. I didn’t put this book down and neither will you.”

―The Globe and Mail

“An all stops-out thriller that will keep readers’ pulses pounding”

―Booklist

“…A faced-paced and chilling read … a complex and unpredictable novel that’ll have you reluctant to set foot in a lift again.”

―Woman’s Weekly

“Elevator Pitch is a white-knuckled ride of a book with twists on every level and an unforgettable cast of characters brought to life with Linwood Barclay’s signature flair and acuity. I gulped it down.”

―Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author of What She Knew and The Nanny

“One of the finest thriller writers in the world at the very top of his game. You will not put this book down. You will not want to sleep. And you will certainly not want to get in a lift again.”
