Praise for J.T.
Ellison’s
ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS
“J.T. Ellison’s debut novel rocks. Darkly compelling and thoroughly chilling, with rich characterization and a well-layered plot, All the Pretty Girls is everything a great crime thriller should be.”
—Allison Brennan, New York Times bestselling author of Fear No Evil
“Taylor Jackson is a fresh portrayal of a cop with a serial killer to catch. Creepy thrills from start to finish.”
—James O. Born, author of Burn Zone
“An impressive debut that is rich not just in suspense but in the details. Fast-paced and creepily believable, Ellison’s novel proves that there is still room in the genre for new authors and new cops. There’s no novice showing in All the Pretty Girls. It’s all gritty, grisly and a great read.”
—M. J. Rose, internationally bestselling author of The Reincarnationist
“All the Pretty Girls is a spellbinding suspense novel and Tennessee has a new dark poet. J.T. Ellison’s fast-paced, clever plotting yields a page-turner par excellence. A turbocharged thrill ride of a debut.”
—Julia Spencer-Fleming, Edgar Award finalist and author of All Mortal Flesh
“Ellison hits the ground running with an electrifying debut. All the Pretty Girls is a masterful thriller, shockingly authentic and unputdownable. Fans of Sandford, Cornwell and Reichs will relish every page.”
—J. A. Konrath, author of Dirty Martini
“A word of advice before you read J.T. Ellison’s brilliant debut, All the Pretty Girls: keep the lights on. With a masterful hand, Ellison delivers a villain to make you quail, pitted against the thriller world’s freshest new detective since Tess Gerritsen’s Jane Rizzoli. Complex and sharp-tongued, Taylor Jackson is destined to become an icon in crime fiction. With a deft command of the language and a refreshing respect for the delicate balance between killer, victim and detective, Ellison is an original worth keeping an eye on.”
—Kristy Kiernan, author of Catching Genius
“In J.T. Ellison’s impressive debut, we’re taken on a gripping ride into the seemingly nonsensical world of a serial killer and the passionate urgency of those who try to stop him. From the tragedy of missed potential in an ebbing life to the frustration of a crime unsolved, All the Pretty Girls spurs us to confront our own complicated humanity and to acknowledge what can rip us from its grasp. Ellison’s characters—whether major players or quiet students—will stay with you long after you close the book.”
—Pari Noskin Taichert, two-time Agatha Award finalist and author of the Sasha Solomon mystery series
