"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)

"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

"[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 sarcastic and self-aware whodunit by Josh Harper, Additional Attendee is a smart, snarky, and satisfying high-rise mystery. A self-involved elder millennial named Paul is determined to catch his cheating wife in the act, but after finding a corpse, rather than a tryst, he ends up as a prime suspect in the suspected suitor’s murder. To complicate matters, Paul’s adulterous wife is missing, his lobby attendant crush is acting suspicious, and his tepid career as an actor makes it hard for the authorities to believe anything he says. Neurotic narration, gleefully cartoonish characters, and a twisting plot make this first installment of the Paul Whatshisname Mystery series a refreshingly original and entertaining thriller." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★½
