Pretty as a Picture by Elizabeth Little

Marissa Dahl, a socially awkward but brilliant film editor, takes a mysterious job on the set of a true-crime movie being filmed on a remote island. The film is based on an unsolved murder — and as Marissa digs into the footage and meets the eccentric cast and crew, she realizes that the line between fiction and reality is dangerously blurred.

When strange accidents begin to occur and buried secrets surface, Marissa finds herself trapped in a real-life thriller — one where she might be the next victim. Armed with her razor-sharp mind and dark humor, she must piece together the truth before the final cut turns deadly.

Witty, suspenseful, and sharply observant, Pretty as a Picture is a dazzling mystery about storytelling, obsession, and the lies we tell to keep the cameras rolling.
