A Very Bad Thing by J.T. Ellison
Plus A Very Good Giveaway
It’s finally fall, ya’ll. The temps are cooler, the sweaters are out, the pumpkin spice everything is on display. It’s time to curl up with a good book—you know the kind I’m talking about. The kind that has you on the edge of your seat but isn’t scary, where everyone has a secret, and it keeps you guessing to the very last page. And if you weren’t already convinced take a peek at that bright pink cover and let me tell you why A Very Bad Thing by J.T. Ellison should be your next fall read.
When beloved author, Columbia Jones, is murdered on the last night of book tour, her carefully woven web of lies starts unravelling and its up to her daughter to pick up the pieces before the time runs out for her too.
Ellison is a master at taking normal people, giving them dark secrets, then putting them in a pressure cooker of emotional tension. And she does all of this without dipping into scary territory. You WILL want to read this late into the night but it WON’T make you sit up in bed and worry if the doors are locked. It’s a fine line but it’s one that Ellison walks with confidence. You can trust her to give you all the feels without the frights.
At the center of the story is the question: Who killed Columbia Jones? Was it the daughter who stands to gain the most? The reporter who is working to cover up her own secrets? The ex-con with a grudge?
Told from multiple perspectives, this propulsive story keeps you guessing about whodunnit and who is next. Everyone is a suspect and the clock is ticking to find the killer before they strike again.
