*Crime Worm Book Blog*
It is a very good debut novel. I thoroughly recommend it, and am
looking forward to the next in the series
*The Crime Warp*
It did NOT disappoint at all. I can't wait to read more from this
author because she knows exactly how to write a gripping crime
story, with real and believable characters and with one hell of a
brilliant plot. Breaking Dead is an exciting and fresh read in a
crowded genre . . . I cannot recommend it enough
*Book Addict Shaun*
A crime novel with a difference, told from the point of view of a
tenacious reporter. Well written with sensitivity to horrific
crimes and told in a way that will keep you guessing
*Humble Tart Kitchen*
Yay for an awesome new crime series. I love investigative reporter
Sophie Kent. She is damaged, yet determined. Very much looking
forward to the next book in this series!
*Loud and Proud Book Junkie*
A VERY SATISFYING CRIME DEBUT - 5 STARS . . . I found this to be a
stylish, very readable crime thriller . . . The author's depiction
of the sordid, drug and booze-addled underworld of the fashion
industry is quite frighteningly realistic and the combination of
this and the sometimes equally murky world of tabloid journalism
works extremely well as a backdrop to what is a very good crime
story in its own right
*Breakaway Reviewers*
Crime meets couture in this gripping story
*Marie Claire Magazine*
A fast-paced, punchy, self-assured thriller from a writer who's
bound to go from strength to strength
*Red Magazine*
This twisty crime debut is gripping...Set during London Fashion
Week it's as glam as it is gruesome, and the unveiling of the
killer is a total WTF?! moment
*Glamour Magazine*
An edge of your seat thriller from debut author Corrie Jackson
*Hello Magazine*
Strongly plotted, brilliantly character driven crime thriller with
a difference... This is a very hard hitting book... For me what
made this book rise head and shoulders above others was Sophie
herself. I just loved her attitude and her honesty which combined
to make her one of the most endearing heroines I have ever met. She
was flawed and impulsive but she never gave up in her request for
the truth... A well deserved 5 star review for this debut novel and
highly recommended by me
*My Chestnut Reading Tree*
Breaking Dead is well-written, easy to follow, and fast moving.
Sophie's character is well-defined
*Bella Magazine*
This is not your typical crime thriller, it is fresh, bold and
brazenly original... Breaking Dead is gritty, nerve-tingling and
completely relentless. The pace does not give up at all; it is
truly breath-taking!
*Emma The Little Bookworm*
Breaking Dead has the feel of a noir movie, with up-market hotels,
seedy flats and the brightly-lit newsroom. It's tightly-plotted,
fast-moving and I devoured it greedily in two sittings
*Crime Review*
Breaking Dead is the first book in a dark, powerful and enthralling
series featuring young newspaper reporter Sophie Kent...there is
true style, flair and finesse in this gripping opener ... Jackson
hits the ground not just running, but sprinting in a fast-paced,
atmospheric story. But what makes this debut so impressive is the
stunning authenticity of the characters, the clever, fast-paced
plot and Jackson's understanding of the grim realities of working
in both the hard-nosed fashion industry and amidst the endless
tensions and demands of a busy newspaper. Brimming with angst,
anger, anguish and action, this is just the start of what promises
to be an enthralling new crime series...
*Lancashire Evening Post*
Do you like your crime fiction how you like your fashion: chic,
seamless and well put together? Then this could be the perfect fit
for you this fall... addictive and absorbing crime debut...vividly
glamorous settings and her twisty, tightly woven plot. Corrie has
created a memorably strong, complex and flawed female protagonist
in Sophie Kent - and given her a killer storyline to boot.
Impossible to put down (I stayed up till 2am to finish it) Breaking
Dead is in equal parts glamorous, gripping and gruesome... go get
it now
