A Very Bad Thing

This might just be a perfect thriller. I loved it so much. There were tons of twists and turns, some of which I guessed, some of which I didn’t. Columbia Jones is a beloved author (I thought of perhaps, Jodi Picoult) when I pictured her. She is adored by her fans and has built an empire off of her books and now even has a movie deal. But on the last night of her book tour, Columbia is brutally murdered. The country is rocked by her death. As is her daughter (and publicist) Darian, as well as the reporter covering the tour, Riley. Details emerge, and it turns out Columbia might have been hiding some pretty big secrets, and an illicit past. Turns out, many people might just want her dead. As Riley and Darian race to uncover the truth about Columbia’s past, lives are shattered. There are twists and turns. Everyone is a suspect, no one can be trusted. Despite it’s longer length for a book of this genre (nearly 500 pages), I tore through it in two days. I loved it.
