Publisher's summary

Employing the unique, darkly humorous, and powerful noir voice that is his trademark, Piccirilli demonstrates why he's become a must-read author for admirers of both crime and horror fiction.

Loss concerns a failed writer working as a handyman in an old Manhattan apartment building with a strange history and numerous oddball tenants, not all of whom may be what they seem. The penthouse is owned by a bestselling novelist and his wife, the nameless narrator's longtime unrequited love, who soon goes missing. Is she dead or somehow trapped within the endless corridors of a lair full of twisted memories and half-forgotten ambitions? This is a haunting noir-ghost story fusion that not only spotlights the fear of missing out on one's greatest hopes and romantic dreams, but also features such memorable characters as Mojo the talking monkey and the corpse of the real inventor of aluminum foil.

Weird Story

Any additional comments?

This story was weird but entertaining. Some what of a mystery and I just love to listen to Chris Patton's narration.

Not For Me

The story just couldn't hold my interest. I tried a few times to make it till the end, but the story just kept losing me. I will try another story by this author someday though, because I believe he may have others that fit my interest better.

The narrator was just not that great. He either was trying to hard or he just couldn't get the right emotions to fit the story. He would get to fast/excited in places where it just didn't seem to fit with that part in the story.

I'm so sorry, but it's just not my taste. I myself would not recommend this one. Again, it doesn't mean others won't like the story or narration....It's just my taste & the ppl I know.

I'm being honest here.

I was given this book for free at my request and I am providing this honest review voluntarily. I do my best to be honest & will not fib just to get a like or a free book!!

Loss

Interesting short book that kept me listening. Nothing ground-breaking, but I enjoyed it all the way through to the end.

Loss

This book grabbed my attention from the start. It was well written and the performance was good. I’m still trying to figure out the ending.
