PRAISE FOR BOB SHAPIRO, HELLUVA GUY:

"A madcap mystery adventure. For readers seeking something more unconventionally lovable, Paul Whatshisname is more than up to the task. Though Harper’s eccentric characters carry the story, Katie proves to be the most compelling, hoping to leave her small life but unsure how to do so. Her enthusiasm and intelligence in negotiating every dark corner, bad guy, and Paul and Bob at the same time is the heart of the story, and readers will be swept into her delightful evolution." - BookLife

PRAISE FOR ADDITIONAL ATTENDEE:

"Harper's debut delivers a compelling mix of mystery and dark comedy... Harper's writing is crisp, witty, and conversational... The crime is layered and engaging, but not overly complex, and despite the wit the suspense is consistent as Harper deftly blends mystery, satire, and Brooklyn character study, all with impeccable scenecraft. Harper stages surprises, revelations, gags, and bursts of self-discovery with equal aplomb. Even readers steeped in the genre will find the ending a dazzling surprise with real emotional resonance." BookLife (Editor's Pick)

"A wryly told mystery . . . Harper does a deft job of producing red herrings that will misdirect even the savviest of armchair sleuths . . . A diverting whodunit with an unconventional sleuth!" Kirkus Reviews

"A smart, snarky, and satisfying high-rise mystery. Neurotic narration and a twisting plot make this first installment of the Paul Whatshisname Mystery series a refreshingly original and entertaining thriller." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★½

"If you like mysteries, if you like characters that are humorously self-deprecating, if you ever wondered about life in a condo microcosm, then this is the book for you. It's a who-done-it, missing-spouse, on-the-lamb, murder-in-the-building kind of read. I highly recommend it." Reedsy

"Farce and introspection combine seamlessly in Josh Harper's fanciful send-up of the classic detective murder-mystery. More than a comic caper, it is also a study in self-delusion and loss." IndieReader 4.9 out of 5 stars

"For readers looking for a blend of wit, satire, and mystery, Additional Attendee is a refreshing addition to the genre." - A Look Inside

"Evocative descriptions of the secretive, entitled residents and their jealousies and volatile relationships are riveting and bluntly presented. As Paul becomes a murder suspect, he and Alina begin a clandestine search of the building whenever residents are absent. Their partnership and Paul's inner dialogue and insecurity are frequently laugh-out-loud funny. Timely comments on inequality increase Paul's gravitas and appeal."- Audiofile Magazine
