"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.”

cut of the knife. Crime scenes are described, yet leave enough to
our imaginaKon. Highly recommended.”

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

”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
"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.”
RELZ REVIEWZ
"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.”
