“This is a good read. It’s in the style of ‘Big Little Lies’ but I enjoyed MPR more than that book. I don’t usually read thrillers/murders, but this book held my attention well and meant my family’s meals were later than usual on a couple of evenings…. #ICouldNotPutThisBookDown.”

“Great Thriller! A new author for me and JK Ellem did not disappoint! Mill Point Road was a fabulous ride – ups and downs and twists and turns. My jaw hit the floor multiple times throughout this book and when I was finished, I discovered it is a series! Yay!”

“A million times better than Big Little Lies! WOW! This domestic thriller would make an unbelievable TV series. I saw a movie poster with the five actresses JK Ellem imagined would play the leading roles and was blown away! I can definitely see Emily Blunt playing Becca, Jessica Chastain as Paige, Laura Dern as that bitch Sabine Miller, and Susan Sarandon as the matriarch of this group of strong, yet vulnerable women. The book was way better than Big Little Lies and would make a cracking TV show.”

“Just finished Mill Point Road, my first but definitely not my last. Wow , started it and never looked back. Definitely a guilty pleasure kind of like Big Little Lies on steroids. Ordered more of his books immediately.”

“Wow! Just finished Mill Point Road. Firstly thank you, this is the first book I’ve been able to transport myself and continue glued to since my daughter was born (she’s nearly 6 and a half!!). I loved the short chapters like James Patterson books. This means being a working nearly single mum I can sneak a chapter or 2 in a short space of time! Thank you again for bringing reading back to my life; something much missed over the years.”

“A Binge Worthy Read! An exciting thriller and a very binge worthy read. Lots of twists and turns which keeps you hooked. I could not put this book down. A desperate wives theme based story all neighbours with dark secrets. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent Read!! This book was brilliant. Exceptional character development which grew as the story progressed. The plot bubbled along, keeping me guessing as it went, which is what a great novel should do. A must read for any thriller enthusiasts. This author definitely knows how to do it.”

“Amazing Author – A Must Read! Loved every minute of this book!!! It was great to forget about everything that was going on in the world for a day! Could not put this book down, which is a first! Just found my new favourite author.”

“A truly gripping read – get ready to immerse yourself! I admit I bought the book because I saw a photo of suggested actors to play the characters and they were actors that I liked…. so I thought I’ll give the book a go. I’m so glad I did. It’s a gripping read and I loved the surprising plot twists and turns – which I didn’t see coming. It’s left me wanting to know more! The characters are described vividly and just like a film you want to find out what happens in the end. It’s the first book in a long while that I’ve really enjoyed and annoyed that normal life was happening because it interrupted my reading – I’m regretting that I didn’t discover JK Ellem books earlier but I shall definitely be ordering more! Thank you JK Ellem – for giving me hours of escapism curled up on my reading chair totally immersed in the world of Mill Point Road, I’d started to lose my love of reading and this has restored that.”

“When the book opens with “Can you tell me why you killed him?” “Because he tried to kill me…in my own home”. Sit down and hold on..Mill Point Road is going to rock your world! Stayed awake all night to finish this story.”
– Christine Smith
“Fun quick read! The book was recommended to me by a smart gal that I like and respect so I gave it a shot. I’m quite a literature snob so don’t normally read such things. But the book is fun, interesting, fast-paced and was really quite enjoyable. If you want a quick fun read, this is it.”

“I absolutely could not put this down, my eyes were literally on stalks trying to finish this book !! Gripping from start to finish I love a book that gets you invested in its characters, this is my first JK Ellem book and i’m sure it won’t be my last !! Great read definitely recommending.”

“Firstly I never give 5 stars. This is the first book I’ve read by this author. I loved it. I read it in a day and couldn’t put it down. I found it grippy and really wanted to find out about all the characters.”
– Nicola A Henry
“Absolutely riveting read! I loved this book – could never work out what was going to happen next and was holding my breath as to the outcome. Thank you J K Ellem for an amazing read that I didn’t want to finish.”
– Colleen Dunlop
Outstanding book, exciting and what we now have come to expect from this brilliant writer. This latest book has all the excitement and drama. Ordinary people in a rich community but are they that? The build-up is strong and interesting, frightening and dark. So many sharp turns, that I was unable to put the book down, reading into the night, sleep was a second thought. Exciting to the last page!”
