À propos de cet audio

 A Wall Street Journal, Seattle Times, and CrimeReads Best Mystery Book of 2020

"Funny, fast-paced, and a pleasure to read." --The Wall Street Journal

An egomaniacal movie director, an isolated island, and a decades-old murder--the addictive new novel from the bestselling author of Dear Daughter

Marissa Dahl, a shy but successful film editor, travels to a small island off the coast of Delaware to work with the legendary--and legendarily demanding--director Tony Rees on a feature film with a familiar logline.

Some girl dies.

It's not much to go on, but the specifics don't concern Marissa. Whatever the script is, her job is the same. She'll spend her days in the editing room, doing what she does best: turning pictures into stories.

But she soon discovers that on this set, nothing is as it's supposed to be--or as it seems. There are rumors of accidents and indiscretions, of burgeoning scandals and perilous schemes. Half the crew has been fired. The other half wants to quit. Even the actors have figured out something is wrong. And no one seems to know what happened to the editor she was hired to replace.

Then she meets the intrepid and incorrigible teenage girls who are determined to solve the real-life murder that is the movie's central subject, and before long, Marissa is drawn into the investigation herself.

The only problem is, the killer may still be on the loose. And he might not be finished.

A wickedly funny exploration of our cultural addiction to tales of murder and mayhem and a thrilling, behind-the-scenes whodunit, Pretty as a Picture is a captivating page-turner from one of the most distinctive voices in crime fiction.

Julia Whalen offers another great performance... almost too great. At first I loved Elizabeth Little's writting style... but half way through I started to like it less and less. It was over dramatic and over written and all too much. There was no place to relax and breath, no place to just be with the story and figure things out on my own. While on one hand I liked the writting... on the other hand it left me totally exhausted and worn out. It was all about the writting and less about the story. I like a story I can get lost in and this didnt leave enough cracks in the soil to sink into it.

I am not sure I would recommend this or not.

I binge listened this one. The blurb didn't do it justice, I think. I quite enjoyed it, even though the protagonist, though relatable, was annoying. Well written and not a total cliche of a neurotic person, but still annoying. I think it was a conscious choice like, both author and character seemed aware of the fact, but it was still... (you guessed it) annoying. Like, it was written mainly in her voice, so that was 10 hours of aggressively quirky neurosis, and it felt like a lot. But the story was fun enough for it to still be ok.
The mystery was solid and the ending was satisfying. The plot moved quickly and kept my attention. The narration was believable, and even her male voices weren't bad.

fun

This was so dragged out I listened on 1.5 speed and even then I skipped chapters. Sorry folks! Not enjoyable

Boring …
