"Enjoyed reading every minute of Split Second" ~ Dorrane Long
A great read!! Ellie Pulikonda kept me intrigued to the very end of reading Split Second. I enjoyed reading this family mystery, especially the dialogue. I appreciated her slowly sharing the characters' personalities, issues, history, and
yet presented us with hope. 5 Stars!

"A must-read mystery with great depth of characters! ~ Sheryl Murray
I love mysteries and this one has every element, making it a great read! Keeping you guessing until the end, it gives you just enough little clues along the way for the wary reader. But in addition to being a mystery, it also explores the psyche of the characters and their relationships, giving the novel a richness and depth to it. Yes, this is definitely a "page-turner", but it also is a book that gets you thinking!
