With his two missions welded together as one, Jones enters the madman’s world a place of unimaginable terror and hopes that if he survives, he can find his way out. Review PRAISE FOR ROBERT ELLIS The Girl Buried in the Woods (Detective Matt Jones #3) With an early focus on the possible murderers, Ellis ( The Love Killings, 2016, etc.) series entry is more thriller than mystery. The author works this to great effect as the story reveals the burden of unearthing evidence. Ellis generates an impressive amount of suspense. But the detectives frankness also leads to brief conversations that, along with periodic action sequences, provide the book with a swift pace. Although this installment is not closely tied to the preceding two novels, its ending implies that Matts multivolume tale is far from over. Solid entertainment. --Kirkus Reviews The Love Killings (Detective Matt Jones #2) Ellis ( City of Echoes, 2015, etc.) eases new readers into the second Matt-centric novel. Having previously suffered betrayal, Matt has good reason to be paranoid, which results in a gleefully tense sequel as he quickly notices someone watching him. His relationships are complex ... the mystery is straightforward, and Matts propensity for repeatedly asking himself questions keeps him (and readers) focused. The authors writing is tight but descriptive. Though the prose is never unduly graphic, some of the murderers actions will likely make some readers queasy. The ending effectively sets the stage for the next installment. A persistently gripping thriller with strong characters. --Kirkus Reviews City of Echoes (Detective Matt Jones #1) Stunning emotional force. Ellis keeps everything in focus while building a staggering momentum. --Booklist, Starred Review City of Echoes is a dark, gritty, one-sit read. Ellis trademark plotting is on full display here. --Bookreporter Only really good writers can make you feel so strongly. City of Echoes is another bravura effort from the talented Robert Ellis. --Mystery Scene City of Echoes is an absorbing and entertaining read from first page to last and documents novelist Robert Ellis as a master of the genre. --Midwest Book Review City of Echoes is a Best Book of the Month. -- City of Fire (Lena Gamble #1) Los Angeles under a cloud of acrid smoke . . . Robert Elliss City of Fire is a gripping, spooky crime novel. --New York Times Hot List Pick City of Fire is my kind of crime novel. Gritty, tight and assured. Riding with Detective Lena Gamble through the hills of Los Angeles is something I could get used to. Shes tough, smart, and most of all, shes real. --Michael Connelly, New York Times Bestselling Author City of Fire features a tough but deeply flawed protagonist, a tantalizingly complex plot, fully realized--and realistic--characters, and most of all, a palpable intensity. And if that werent enough, the bombshell plot twist at the novels conclusion makes this an absolute must read for thriller aficionados. --Chicago Tribune The Lost Witness (Lena Gamble #2) Scorching. Deliciously twisted. Nothing is what it appears to be. Ellis succeeds masterful
