IN  PRAISE  OF  CUTS LIKE A KNIFE

Page 2: Cuts LIke a Knife REVIEWS

"An  intense,  eerie,  funny,  and  suspenseful  thriller    with  a  very  subtle  faith  

thread  that  enriches  rather  than  suffocates  the  story.  

M.K.  Gilroy's  debut  is  a  sure-­‐fire  winner.”  

 USA  TODAY  

 

Page 3: Cuts LIke a Knife REVIEWS

"A  thriller  that  blends  all  the  elements  of  the  genre:  evil  criminal,  dedicated  cop,  and  exciKng  ending.  Readers  

can't  help  enjoying  this  new  voice.”  

   PUBLISHERS  WEEKLY  

 

Page 4: Cuts LIke a Knife REVIEWS

"In  this  debut,  Gilroy  introduces  a  wiUy,  endearing  

cast  of  characters.  The  suspense  is  taut  and  moves  forward  at  a  steady  pace  to  

keep  the  reader  firmly  invested  in  the  ulKmate  outcome  of  the  story.”  

   RT  BOOK  REVIEWS  (Romance  Times)  

Page 5: Cuts LIke a Knife REVIEWS

"CUTS  LIKE  A  KNIFE  was  gripping  from  the  very  beginning  ...  

DetecKve  Kristen  Conner  is  such  a  wonderfully  mulK-­‐dimensional  character.  This  was  an  amazing  read  by  a  debut  novelist.  I  hope  

there  will  be  a  follow-­‐up.”    

FRESH  FICTION  

Page 6: Cuts LIke a Knife REVIEWS

"I  loved  this  book!  Mark  Gilroy  is  an  author  to  watch.  He's  wriUen  believably  and  honestly  about  a  serial  killer  without  dragging  readers  through  every  horrible  

cut  of  the  knife.  Crime  scenes  are  described,  yet  leave  enough  to  

our  imaginaKon.  Highly  recommended.”  

 

 FAMILY  FICTION  (C.J.  Darlington)  

Page 7: Cuts LIke a Knife REVIEWS

"An  exciKng  police  procedural  ...  fast-­‐paced,  readers  will  enjoy  kick  

buU  Kristen  as  she  tries  to  balance  her  loving  family  life  with  her  deadly  occupaKon  ...  the  first  Connor  mystery  is  an  engaging  

tale.”    

THE  MYSTERY  GAZETTE  (Harriet  Klausner)  

Page 8: Cuts LIke a Knife REVIEWS

”A,er  reading  CUTS  LIKE  A  KNIFE,  I  was  shocked  to  learn  it  was  a  debut  nove.  Gilroy’s  

wriIng  feels  effortless,  as  if  he  had  been  doing  this  for  decades.  I  enjoyed  every  

minute  of  this  intense  roller  coaster  ride,  even  the  parts  that  scared  the  *blip*  out  of  

me.”    

POPCORN  READS  

Page 9: Cuts LIke a Knife REVIEWS

"Gilroy's  debut  novel,  Cuts  Like  A  Knife,  is  a  unique  and  

engaging  read,  surprisingly  humorous  for  a  fast  paced  

thriller  which  includes  a  brash  female  detecKve  and  a  vicious  serial  killer.  Mark's  dry  wit  is  fabulous,  easing  the  tension  from  the  intense  scenes  as  the  

killer's  handiwork  is  discovered.”

"I  enjoyed  the  author’s  wriKng  style.  The  twists  and  turns  kept  me  involved  in  the  plot.  The  

wriKng  was  descripKve  but  also  moved  quickly  and  was  not  too  

graphic.  The  ending  was  saKsfying  and  yet  lec  me  

wondering  more  about  Kristen  and  her  family.  If  readers  enjoy  

mystery  and  suspense  this  should  definitely  be  on  their  

reading  list.”

list!”
