Who tampered with the elevator?

The mundane job of elevator inspection becomes a mysterious tale of intrigue. Whitehead weaves a beautiful narrative featuring an independent protagonist who elevates herself from the racism she faces in this noir mystery.

over my head, great for a class to pick apart, sucks for entertainment

So, there were some really sharp lines, interesting intrigue, and then it just turned into a slog. I'm sure this is great if you're a lit professor or something, but I'm not. I just wanted a good book to read, not a homework assignment. My favorite scene was the dime-a-dance place, and it had absolutely zero to do with anything else in the story, but it had the most emotion.
