Mandy White (mandylovestoread)'s Reviews > A Very Bad Thing

JT Ellison has done it again, my weekend was consumed by A Very Bad Thing and it was fabulous. A story about a writer being murdered on a book tour, how can you pass that up. Full of book references and a nod to a previous series of her own, JT had me turning those pages to see what would happen next.

A very famous author, her new book just out and is about to become a movie too, is on the final night of her book tour. She has her daughter and publicist, Darian with her, as well as a journalist who is writing a feature article about her everywhere she goes. The story is about to become even bigger, when the next morning, Columbia Jones is found in a pool of her own blood, dead in her hotel room.

But everyone loved Columbia, who would want her dead? It turns out, Columbia was keeping some very dark, dark secrets from everyone, and those left behind struggle to put the pieces together l

This is a long book but boy did it fly by. Not only is there a murder to solve, but we have a book inside a book - how much do we readers love that!! This is a fun and mysterious read, with plenty of ways this could have gone. Be prepared to lose your day or night lost in the story. Full of characters that are so realistic and easy to get attached to quickly. I just adore this author so much and will pick up anything she writes.

Thanks so much to Thomas and Mercer on NetGalley for the advanced copy. Get this one November 1st.
