Enjoyed the book from start to finish. The plot twists were shocking and enjoyable, but that doesn't surprise me coming from JL Campbell. I look forward to the next book.

Murder by the Book is a compelling thriller which shines a fluorescent light on the inner workings of the publishing world. Addison Comstock is at the top of the literary world but suddenly people in her inner circle start dying. The cause of death comes straight out the pages of the book she’s writing. Or the book she’s having written by a team of ghost writers who she terrorizes on a daily basis. But Addison has a secret. A secret that someone is going to expose for the world to see.

The author does an excellent job of weaving in clues and backstory to keep the reader guessing throughout. No one is whom they seem in this story. Overall, this book is an excellent five star read.

JL. Campbell’s MURDER BY THE BOOK invites readers into a world where secrets, suspense, and sharp-witted investigation intertwine.

Campbell’s prose is crisp and evocative, deftly capturing the tension and atmosphere of each scene. The pacing is deliberate, allowing readers to savor the clues and participate in the unraveling mystery, while moments of humor and warmth between Addison and Casey offer respite from the suspense.
