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.

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!!!

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.

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.
