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.

Darryl. He seemed to have the ability to connect with different people on so many different levels. Had he channeled his energy differently, he could have been a great businessman.

a very good story

Twist and Turns

This book kept me on the edge of my seat. If I were a nail bitter I'd have nubs. I like the fact that ending is not what you'd expect. I tried throughout and was happily surprised.

LOVED IT!!

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.

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.

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