“BLUE RIDGE is briskly plotted and smartly structured, moving back and forward in time without making a single confusing or gratuitous move. And even while keeping the cast of characters blessedly small, the story still manages to offer surprises and twists. (I actually gasped a few times, but I might be an easy mark.)…BLUE RIDGE will grip readers seeking a tense and evocative tale of big feelings, sparely expressed, and bigger sacrifices.”

"Elliott delivers this story in a way that is fast-moving and vivid. He brilliantly develops this unusual fraternal relationship by giving both Cillian’s and Christopher’s perspectives through most of the book. The flashbacks to the night that severed the brother’s relationship, paralleled with the current mystery of Christopher’s murder, allows readers to gradually put the pieces together and experience suspense at the end of every chapter. For readers looking for a shocking, fast-paced psychological thriller with an ending that they will never see coming, BLUE RIDGE is a must-read."

"True crime lovers who enjoy a thrilling mystery, this is for you. This is a fast paced thriller with a twisty plot about brothers going against each other. I couldn't believe that this was a debut, the writing is fantastic and I'm looking forward to more crime fiction from this author."

"The opening line is a shocker. I had to reread it twice. That statement catapults you into a story you don’t see coming. The imagery alone in the beginning of this book sets the vibe and gives off a very morose aesthetic. You don’t know what to expect and feel an eeriness lurking in what you read. It’s sorrowful with buckets of regret and there’s something deeper and more desolate between the pages..a fast paced, riveting and haunting murder mystery that will shock you with surprises and leave you feeling melancholy."

"It is a riveting and intricately woven tale of suspense and betrayal. The premise of a man being framed for his twin brother's murder and subsequently diving into a conspiracy fraught with political implications sets the stage for a gripping narrative...Elliott's ability to craft a story interwoven with twists, revelations, and high-stakes conflicts promises an enthralling reading experience."

"A well-plotted and fast-paced narrative, this storyline just keeps adding intrigue, suspicions, twists and turns. The author adds just the right amount of hope and then yanks the rug out from under the feet...I’m looking forward to what this author comes up with in a sophomore novel."

"I literally devoured this book in one day. This psychological thriller brought a new flavor of mind games between twin brothers that was intense with some twists and turns. It is written in two POVs that showcase the psychological dueling going on between the brothers...this was such a fantastic suspenseful and fast paced read breaking apart the familial and brotherly bonds between twins and so much more!"

"A fascinating thriller that had unexpected twists and twin brother drama that cut deep. Peter Malone Elliott's debut is a solid start that will keep readers returning for more!"

"...with all the twists and turns, I never knew what to expect next."

"...WIRED SHUT proves to be an effective home invasion thriller with heart."

"...WIRED SHUT manages to keep things moving, never dragging out a chase or hide-and-seek for two minutes longer than it needs to. It’s a great accomplishment in indie horror."

"WIRED SHUT is a boiled down to basics thriller with all sorts of moments of strong tension and suspense. It sets up a simple and diabolical scenario and then lets the three characters simply tear each other apart. I have to admire the filmmakers for being able to pull off a small, but potent little cat and mouse game."
