Brimming with intrigue, dark secrets and drama, A Very Bad Thing is an intense page-turning thriller that implores you to race through it with a burning desire to consume every last sordid detail. J.T. Ellison has delivered an expertly crafted, twisty tale that provides hours of indulgent entertainment.
Celebrity novelist Columbia Jones is riding high, finishing up a lengthy tour for her latest book. But on the last night of the tour, she collapses onstage after a mysterious individual stands up during her talk. And the next morning, she’s found dead in her hotel room. With the literary world reeling, investigations commence by both the police and a tenacious reporter who was accompanying Columbia on tour. Soon details of Columbia’s past start to emerge and they paint a much different picture about the beloved author’s past that provide insight into her murder. And the details uncovered guarantee that everyone involved will see their lives changed forever.
A Very Bad Thing is well-conceived and executed featuring a twisty plot with a slow drip of information that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end. There’s intrigue, violence, emotion and massive world-rocking revelations. The character development is superb, delivering complex individuals who are more than they seem and whose past actions don’t necessarily define them. And the drama…oh boy is it thick and juicy. It’s a lifetime movie on steroids. But it’s also way more than a guilty pleasure. It’s a banger of a book. A fascinating and voyeuristic tale for all to thoroughly enjoy.
