The listing, Jane Smiley softcover of Duplicate Keys has ended.
300-some pages of Jane Smiley's take on the mystery novel. Kind of different and a bit slower than a lot of mystery novels are.
A Midwestern refugee lives in Manhattan in an apartment where several people have keys to it. By several, I mean like 50-some. Which makes it complicated when dead bodies are found in the apartment by the aforesaid refugee, Alice Ellis.
Alice seems oddly unshaken by the experience and goes on to start an affair with one of her neighbors.
The investigation grinds on however and all is explained.
Author Jane Smiley is the Pulitzer winning author of A Thousand Acres.
