About this ebook
From the CWA-longlisted author of Dear Daughter comes a wickedly funny behind-the-scenes whodunnit set on a true-crime film shoot 'A twisty story, a cinephile's delight, a knockout of a heroine. I loved it' LAURA LIPPMAN 'I am a sucker for a tough yet vulnerable heroine, and here Elizabeth Little gives the reader an excellent one, and sets her against a brilliantly toxic backdrop of glitz and entitlement' RUTH WARE 'An atmospheric thriller that sparkles with intelligence and irrepressible wit' STEPH CHA ____________ Some girl dies. Film editor Marissa has read better loglines for films, but still jumps at the chance to travel to a small island to work with the legendary - and legendarily demanding - director Tony Rees. Soon she discovers that on this set, nothing is as it seems. There are rumours of accidents, indiscretions and burgeoning scandals. In the midst of this chaos, Marissa is herself drawn into an amateur investigation of the real-life murder that is the movie's central subject. The only problem is, the killer may still be on the loose. And he might not be done. ____________ See what readers are saying about Pretty as a Picture 'Unique and original.
