Jump Cut by Libby Fischer Hellmann
4.0
Reviewed on www.snazzybooks.com.
Before reading Jump Cut I hadn’t read any others from the Ellie Foreman series, but have read Nobody’s Child, which is the fifth in her Georgia Davis series. So in my opinion doesn’t matter whether you’ve read others in the series- I still got what was happening, the characters were still developed enough for me to get them and what they’re like and the story, although perhaps making reference to previous books in the series, was self-contained enough to ensure I could enjoy it on its own. No doubt I may have picked up on more background if I had read the others but I felt it wasn’t necessary.
The story was fast paced enough that I didn’t get bored or lose interest as I was reading, and was quite easy to read and follow. It had a good dose of action, a lot of suspense and, for those who like their conspiracy/ spy thrillers, Jump Cut is a lighter but really enjoyable offering.
The various characters were mostly believable and Ellie Foreman, though at times very forceful and rash at making decisions, seemed quite likeable and a strong female lead, which is always great to read about! I was rooting for her throughout – Libby Hellman makes you care about the characters enough to ensure you keep reading on, and I certainly got through this novel in no time!
I would recommend this novel for anyone that wants an entertaining, fun read with an element of mystery and plenty of action.
