Official Review: A Brush with Death by Jody Summers

[Gayatri Tripathi]

I appreciate the depth and clarity of your review of "A Brush with Death" by Jody Summers. The concept of mixing ashes with paint to create a 'Canvas of Life' is both haunting and intriguing, providing a unique twist on the usual thriller genre. Your mention of the vivid descriptions and the almost cinematic experience they offer is particularly appealing to me as a reader who enjoys being fully immersed in a story's atmosphere.

I understand your point about the relationship between Kira and Sean feeling rushed. In thrillers, character development can sometimes take a backseat to plot progression, but it's good to know that the mystery element compensates for this shortcoming. Your comparison to Stephen King and Jeffery Deaver, along with the warning about terrifying scenes, sets clear expectations for the potential reader.

Thank you for highlighting both the strengths and minor flaws of the book, such as the punctuation errors and the scattered profanity. Your balanced and detailed review has certainly piqued my interest in this chilling thriller.
