Prolific novelist Hunt knows how to hold a reader's interest, and her latest
yarn is no exception. As Hurricane Felix races toward Tampa, three women's
paths unexpectedly converge when they're marooned in an elevator. The action
takes place over the course of one tension-packed day. Michelle Tilson is a
smart, 33-year-old headhunter who is apt to fudge the truth in the interests
of more business. She's in a passionate relationship with a widower, who's
reluctant to introduce her to his three children. Michelle's biological clock
is ticking, and when she discovers she is pregnant, she's ready to press for a
commitment. When Michelle boards the elevator to give her lover the
news-instead of fleeing the impending disaster-she's joined by office cleaner
Isabel Suarez, who has a frightening secret, and Gina Rossman, who is on her
way to confront her workaholic husband about his extramarital affair. Trapped,
the women discuss relationships and faith, and make some startling
discoveries. Although the idea of characters stuck in an elevator is nothing
new, Hunt packs the maximum amount of drama into her story, and the pages turn
quickly. The present tense narration lends urgency as the perspective switches
among various characters. Readers may decide to take the stairs after
finishing this thriller. (July) Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
