Nikki Lee's Reviews > A Very Bad Thing

What if your whole life has been a lie? You’ve written the narrative to suit your needs until one day, it all comes crashing down. Literally!

Meet Columbia Jones, a New York bestselling author who is most loved. She has over twenty best selling novels during her lifetime. She’s has fans who adore her and is a household name. Imagine Colleen Hoover. Everyone has heard of Colleen Hoover, RIGHT?

Columbia is about to wrap up her most anticipated book tour in the US. The last night of her book signing, she faints at the sight of an approaching man. She’s rushed to the hospital. All her tests appear to be jet lag. Later that night she is found shockingly murdered in her hotel room of the event.

Who would want Columbia Jones dead? And why?

Riley is the journalist who has been hired on to tour with her, interview and write up a story of Columbia’s fame and fortune. Darian, her daughter, handles everything connected to her and the Columbia Jones brand. These two women are the ones that have spent the most time with the author in her final month. Could it be one of them? A crazed fan? Someone from her past?

J.T Ellison does a phenomenal job laying out her characters. Even the ones I disliked started to grow on me. You get to see the good and bad in everyone’s roles. I didn’t have to question the decisions they made. I could feel a genuine sense of motives, whether intentionally good or bad. I really felt connected to them.

FOLKS, I lost a lot of sleep over this one. This is the true definition of a unputdownable psychological thriller! Hanging off the edge of my seat! Quickly turning the pages. A wild ride of whodunnit and one heck of a story.

This one’s going to be a hit! Add to your TBR now!

Massive thanks to Amazon, NetGalley and J.T Ellison for the opportunity. Publication date November 1, 2024
