Publisher's summary

Meet Darryl Graham, or as his new neighbors call him, The Man in 3B.

Darryl's new to the Jamaica, Queens building, but from day one he's made quite an impression on his neighbors. He has made it very clear he greatly values his privacy, but he is the man every woman wants and every man wants to be, so inquiring minds want to know. Unfortunately, in Darryl's world, what you know can hurt you. And when he winds up dead, those inquiring minds become the prime suspects.

Darryl has just moved into a Jamaica, Queens, apartment building and his neighbors, both male and female alike, can't stop talking about him. From his down-to-earth personality to his extreme attractiveness to his undeniable swag, Darryl is the man every woman wants and every man wants to be.

Darryl is quickly welcomed into the building and immediately becomes a part of each of the tenants' lives. Connie, an overweight and unhappy wife, turns to Darryl for help losing weight, hoping to try and fix her crumbling marriage. But when Darryl starts making Connie feel beautiful again, she questions whether or not her marriage is worth saving. Benny, a spoiled teenager, looks up to Darryl as a role model. When an unexpected event occurs, Benny is left questioning everything he's ever known. Krystal, Darryl's first love, wants to make things work with her current boyfriend. Yet having Darryl back in her life sends her happy home spiraling out of control. And, last but not least, Avery, Connie's husband, doesn't care about anyone or anything when a financial opportunity comes his way - that is, until he notices how much time his wife is spending with their new neighbor.

Everything seems to be going well, until someone is murdered, and everyone becomes a prime suspect.

LOVED IT!!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Man in 3B to be better than the print version?

I have never read the print version, but the narrorators MADE the story for me.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character is probably Connie, I liked her because no matter what was going on she always kept her mind on what she needed to be doing. Even when her husband was treating her badly she still was doing everything in her power to try to save her marriage, and she didn't let him break her spirit.

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I don't think I have listened to anything else read by them.

If you could rename The Man in 3B, what would you call it?

I think that title fits the story well.

Any additional comments?

I have listened to another book by Carl Weber which I really disliked, and said I wasn't going to listen to anything else of his. But this book kept coming up in my recommendations so I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I decided to listen to this title, I would say it ranks up there as one of my favorites.

One of my Favs!!

I loved this book. they anyway made a movie or of it and did it justice. I highly recommend this book and the movie. Both are highly underrated.

Good but long 😆

Connie is the best character. The end of the book was romance. They live happily ever after 😚

Carl Weber does it again

Where does The Man in 3B rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I loved this book, from the first 30 minutes i was hooked. It is a feel good book.. Im so tired of reading books about gangs, drugs and fashion. This was a great distraction from that.

Carl has done it again...

Would you listen to The Man in 3B again? Why?

Yes...I was like she did it, no him, no her....I had no clue until the mystery was reveled.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I didn't have just one but I enjoyed the mixture of characters. I felt like I knew them all after awhile.

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love the fact that there were did narrators in this book. It really brought it to life for me.

Any additional comments?

There is nothing that Carl Weber does that I don't enjoy. His stories are always juicy and full of drama....I love it!!

Any additional comments?

Carl Weber, a masterful weaver of words, plots and unforgettable characters. Do not try to compare this writer to any of the rest he is truly in a league of his own. His book will leave you wanting more, just when you think you have him figured out he goes and flips the script on you real quick. In this book, one of his best to date, he will have you so engrossed that you will leave dinner burning and forget to go to sleep for work tomorrow He has unforgettable characters, a realistic plot anda sexy man that is to die for. I will not tell you more except read this book. It is exemplary work..

Wonderful Read

This was a great audio book, each character's story came to life. I could visualize what was going in each chapter and found it difficult to put down.

I hope there will be a book 2.

I have read all of Carl Weber's books. and by far this one is best.

A Very Good Read

I really enjoyed this movie, I just recently watched the movie on BET but I like the book better. The characters were really easy to picture as the scenes unfolded. I hope there will be a sequel I would love to see if Daryl and Connie will last and as a twist could there possibly be a witness somewhere in the alley as Daryl was fleeing the scene.

This was a GREAT READ!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Man in 3B to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version but I would definitely read it after listening to this audio book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I enjoyed all of the characters.
