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.

Wow

I had this book for a year before I read it and I'm so mad I wasted time. I was addicted!

Loved It!

What made the experience of listening to The Man in 3B the most enjoyable?

The author did a good job in developing the characters and the narrarators did a great job in briging them to life.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Connie was my favorite character because she was the most genuine.

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

Hearing the voices of the characters, for me, brings a depth. I could get a better image of them by the sound of their voice.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

You never know what really goes on... Behind Closed Doors.

Any additional comments?

When I first started listening to this book I thought it was going to be cartoonish and predictable with shallow characters who I would hate. But when I kept listening and the main characters were brought to life, I began to thoroughly enjoy it and found it hard to cut it off. Although I did predict what happened, I was not mad because I enjoyed listening to how everything unfolded.

I'm glad I've gotten into Carl Weber. He is imaginative and I always enjoy his twists. He is one of my favorites and I look forward to catching up on books I have not read by him as well as his future projects.

This is one of his best works yet!

This book was an awesome read, and I will definitely recommend to all of friends.

Loved it!!

I didn't expect that ending at all! Carl Weber is a genius. I've read almost all of his books!

Clever Who-Done-It?

Bravo!
Mr Weber put together an enjoyable and clever Murder Mystery! As a listener I appreciated the effort and thought he put into the tale of the man in apt 3B. The narrators also did a good job spinning this tale. Clever story line; clever character development; clever ending! It kept me guessing up until the very end. My only regret is that my “guess”of the murderer was wrong! Bravo!

Loved it

Now the narrator for Krystal was a bit annoying but I didn't expect that ending AT ALL! This is one of my favorite books by Weber and he is known for his crazy twists!!

Great

It was great! I was rushing to leave work every day just to finish the book!

Awesome book! I think there may be a 2nd part! 😄

I want more story about Connie and Daryl, hopefully there is a part two!!!!

Awesome Book

Love it! The narratives were all great! You can really visualize the actual scenes. The very descriptive sexual content was extremely on fire! Love how the storyline kept you guessing and wondering.

I Loved IT!

These was never a dull moment. Action packed. Something always backfired and the ending was totally worth it!
