Resumen del Editor
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 best-selling 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 pause-resister from one of the most distinctive voices in crime fiction.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Elizabeth Little is part of an exciting new generation of crime writers who have been bending this sturdy genre into new, unexpected shapes. Pretty as a Picture is a glorious buffet - a twisty story, a cinephile's delight, a knockout of a heroine. I loved it." (Laura Lippman, New York Times best-selling author of Lady in the Lake and Sunburn)
"I am a sucker for a tough yet vulnerable heroine, and in Pretty as a Picture, Elizabeth Little gives the reader an excellent one, and sets her against a brilliantly toxic backdrop of glitz and entitlement." (Ruth Ware, New York Times best-selling author of The Turn of the Key and The Woman in Cabin 10)
"Engaging and irresistible from the very first page, Pretty as a Picture is a smart and compelling thriller filled with surprises. Little writes with such a clear, confident, and witty voice, I found myself smiling as I read." (Alafair Burke, New York Times best-selling author of The Better Sister)
"Pretty as a Picture is a remarkable thriller that succeeds on almost too many levels. It’s sharp and stylish, witty and fierce, not to mention extremely intelligent. Little perfectly and expertly conjures the unglamorous side of filmmaking - the gruesome grind of a movie shoot - in meticulous detail. This is no mere crime novel, but a must read for anyone with a passion for movies or the industry." (Ivy Pochoda, author of Wonder Valley)
"Pretty as a Picture is an atmospheric thriller that sparkles with intelligence and irrepressible wit, anchored by the singular voice of Marissa Dahl, a mega-competent female film editor plagued by anxiety. Elizabeth Little has an impeccable ear for dialogue and a sharp eye for detail, and she's created a page-turner that is as well written as it is captivating. I enjoyed every scene and sentence of this glorious book." (Steph Cha, author of Your House Will Pay)

Classic movie buff Bailey "Mink" Rydell has spent months crushing on a witty film geek she only knows online by "Alex". Two coasts separate the teens until Bailey moves in with her dad, who lives in the same California surfing town as her online crush. Faced with doubts (what if he's a creep in real life - or worse?), Bailey doesn't tell Alex she's moved to his hometown. Or that she's landed a job at the local tourist-trap museum. Or that she's being heckled daily by the irritatingly hot museum security guard, Porter Roth - a.k.a. her new arch-nemesis.

Me and the legendary Zimmerman twins - it's a friendship made in geek heaven. And it all started back when I worked for the NSA... My best friend Basia dragged me to the beach for her idea of a vacation. All those annoying people, sand in embarrassing places - not exactly R & R for a girl who doesn't like the sun, the ocean, or bathing suits. I couldn't wait to get back to work. But things started looking up when I ran into Elvis and Xavier Zimmerman. We discovered we had a lot in common: gaming, anchovies, hacking.

In a bustling suburban neighborhood in Kent, England, sits an unassuming house. There is no sign of life behind the unwashed windows, but Robin Marshall is inside. Driven by fears and obsessions, racked by anxiety, Robin is frantically pushing her body through punishing workouts, eating little, haunted by what happened to her family when she was a girl. Robin's only connection to the outside world is through her rear windows and the lives she spies upon in the apartment house across the way.

A vast array of characters that entertain thruout!
I was so pleasantly surprised at how much I fully enjoyed Pretty as a Picture, as I don't read too many books in this genre. But it shouldn't come as a surprise as it's read by my all time favourite narrator. Julia Whelan brought Elizabeth Little's Pretty As A Picture so much life. I honestly don't think anyone else could've have done this audiobook justice.
ELittle gave us a perspective not many people get to see or understand. This book isn't for everyone. if you can not connect with the main Lead character early on, you could find yourself wanting to urge Marisa forward. But that was the whole point. The narrative explains things in ways that open your mind to someone else completely. I for one personally enjoyed everything Marisa had to say or feel. I could connect on certain levels for example, if you're an introvert or socially awkward, you'd probably beable to connect with Marisa a lot easier and enjoy the book to its full extent.
The air of mystery was a really fun aspect, and all the pop culture talk was highly entertaining as well.
This was a really fun read and I would recommend this to everyone. Please begin this book with an open mind and an understanding of a character that isn't just like everyone else in the world.

Fun mystery, just don't expect too much
I switched back and forth between print and audio, and I have to say, the narrator Julia Whelan really improved a less than stellar novel. I enjoyed listening to it far more than reading it. The murder mystery starts out interesting, but the amateur sleuthing leaves much to be desired, and some truly implausible 13 y/o Nancy Drew types make much of the detective work a bit too precious. However, the setting of a film in production on a secluded island was intriguing enough to keep me going, and this ended up being an entertaining, light mystery.

Engaging Lead and a Host of Terrific Characters
Little's sparkling narrative is brought to life by stellar narration! Here's hoping to find Little and Whelan together again.
Marissa, the main character, shares numerous character quirks in the course of resolving a long-unsolved mystery (sort of a "locked door" murder, since it takes place on an island). Along the way, we glean a wealth of insider knowledge of the movie industry. What's not to like? Well, I suppose some listeners might find Marissa's lead-in overlong and overshared, but once she heads out for the film editing job (with a 16-page NDA), the action balances out her intellect and quirky personality.
Narrator Julia Whelan breathes life into even minor characters, for ex., the teamster crew's brief appearance is a laugh-out-loud delight and two teenage amateur detectives are spot on, charming as only earnest teens can be. They epitomize the talents of digital natives, by the way, in understated exchanges that had me nodding in recognition. After finishing this title, I went immediately to see Whelan's other projects, and was delighted to find both breadth and acclaim. She's won numerous awards, including three Audies in the last two years, so it's no surprise to see what she was able to do with Little's intricate and engaging story.
Like many Americans, our days have changed a LOT in the last six weeks. We've loved audiobooks for 20+ years and our listening habits vary, mostly involving commuting or road trips, but this was one we lingered over at lunch and meted out chapter by chapter as we neared the end. An aside: over the last few years my perspective on assigning stars has changed a bit. Is this a classic? No, It is, however, a collaboration that represents popular fiction wonderfully - a five-star light listen for heavy times.

A little snark goes a loooong way
I am some someone out there will love this book. As a former film student it was fun to have less glamorous editors out there get some attention and the story idea is original and sound. But I just COULD NOT handle all the "smart" rejoinders. Every character seemed constantly exasperated with whomever they were talking to. If it were just the main character MAYBE I could have gotten to the end but the "clever" condescending one-liners were being delivered by every character to every other character. As though everyone was both an idiot AND Oscar Wilde. This made for a pattern of dialog was unbearably repetitive. I kept going back and forth between whether it was the writing or the narration, but the mystery was solved when I figured out it was both.

Rewards you in a careful read through
I brought this book on my own because I liked the idea. It isn't a review in exchange for a book etc. . . . First off I'm very grateful to the author for not making her main character a heroine addicted prostitute or a combination of Navy Seal and Ninja. So many male authors do that now, so many you can't even count them.
The Audible narrator was excellent and she handled the protagonists ironic humor very well; she caught the timing and odd quirks. The book isn't a harrowing thriller, its more character driven and about the relationships and its funny. Don't let your mind drift you can miss things. Example the main character says "Yes, I want to know everything, except what my brother did with my sports bra he stole when he was twelve! Or how many time I made my mother cry."
There's a soul and a depth you don't notice at first especially as the M.C. explains the details of her craft. I took a second pass through and you catch all these witticisms you miss at first read. It is necessary that you get the set up of what the character's job entails, I especially liked the line that said something like "that's code for the executives not liking women who speak in broad sentences (speaking bluntly) No. I loved it! Yes it is a drag that women must speak in a vague way to avoid holding strong opinions.

Decent story made very enjoyable by performance
The story itself is okay. It’s funny and interesting enough and moves at a good clip. What really made this entertaining though was Julia Whelan’s performance. She did a great job not just reading this book, but performing it. Every character felt unique and recognizable. I think if I were reading the book I might have stopped, but listening was very enjoyable.
