I received an advance copy of this book and am leaving this review voluntarily.
This kicked off as a rather engaging story about an author, Ian Walker, who suddenly learns that the biggest critics of his books which fall into the psychological thriller genre, are being murdered one by one. As scathing reviews are posted, of which there aren't many, the writers of said reviews are murdered. Investigating these murders is the duo of Detective John Harris and Lia Morgan. Ian is attracted to Lia and they begin a relationship.
I noted tongue-in-cheek mentions of current hugely successful thriller authors and the emotions an author feels when they are criticized, even if their praise far outweighs the odd poor review, and felt the emotions expressed transgressed pure fiction.
Quick, punchy chapters make this an easy read. 4 stars.
