Kirkus Reviews on CITY OF STONES
What a great week in this book’s young life as a Pre-order! Here’s a sample from Kirkus Reviews’ take on CITY OF STONES (A Detective Matt Jones Thriller: Book 4)! The book review is entitled “A moody, white-knuckle murder tale with an incisive, blunt hero.” I’m posting the second half of the review without a single cut.
“As in his previous appearances, Matt is a detective who doesn’t pull any punches. But he’s no antihero; he’s generally by-the-book and unmistakably concerned when his actions may put another in harm’s way. Ellis’ story moves at a steady beat; brief scenes and rapid-fire dialogue deftly showcase the detective methodically unraveling the mystery. Moreover, there’s a taut atmosphere, as Matt examines crime scenes alone; covertly meets someone at a fog-covered, darkened house; and even stumbles on another body. The narrative further intensifies once the villain becomes evident. Still, questions linger all the way to the end while the denouement will surely reverberate long after readers have finished this riveting book.”
Wow! One week and a day before CITY OF STONES goes LIVE!
