City Under One Roof

By Iris Yamashita

Book Overview

A stranded detective tries to solve a murder in a tiny Alaskan town where everyone lives in a single high-rise building, in this gripping debut by an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter.

When a local teenager discovers a severed hand and foot washed up on the shore of the small town of Point Mettier, Alaska, Cara Kennedy is on the case. A detective from Anchorage, she has her own motives for investigating the possible murder in this isolated place, which can be accessed only by a tunnel.

After a blizzard causes the tunnel to close indefinitely, Cara is stuck among the odd and suspicious residents of the town--all 205 of whom live in the same high-rise building and are as icy as the weather. Cara teams up with Point Mettier police officer Joe Barkowski, but before long the investigation is upended by fearsome gang members from a nearby native village.

Haunted by her past, Cara soon discovers that everyone in this town has something to hide. Will she be able to unravel their secrets before she unravels?

Mystery

This is a Police Mystery. I really loved the setting of this book. This book took me a little bit to get pulled into the storyline because the beginning was slow to get really going. The beginning slowly built the characters backstories and made the setting come to life. The ending was full of suspense and fast pace. I loved the mystery and the suspense in this book. This was a solid read. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
