    Like Matt Lynn, Ellory writes 5-star reviews of his own work on Amazon. Long, purple tributes to his own magnificent genius.

    @jeremyduns
    And like Matt Lynn, RJ Ellory also writes shoddy, shitty sniping reviews of others authors' work on Amazon, under an assumed identity.

    Ellory is a major British bestseller, whether you have read him or not. A Richard & Judy pick. Winner of the Crime Novel of the Year 2010.

    I'm going to prove Ellory does this. Here's one account which I am very sure is him but cannot prove: amazon.co.uk/gp/cdp/member-… Proof is coming.

    You can see that 'Jelly Bean' has given 5 stars to every single one of RJ Ellory's books. Very articulately.

    On this page, you can see that 'Jelly Bean' has also given a one-star review for Mark Billingham's most recent novel: amazon.co.uk/gp/cdp/member-…

    @jeremyduns
    The review is from *this month*. It's a spiteful review, sniping at Billingham's success and insinuating he has ripped off another writer.

    @jeremyduns
    'Jelly Bean' wrote another sniping review in that style two years ago, of Stuart MacBride's novel Dark Blood: amazon.co.uk/gp/cdp/member-…

    Now let's look at another Amazon reviewer without a real name, 'Nicodemus Jones': amazon.co.uk/gp/cdp/member-…

    @jeremyduns
    As you can see, he gives 5-star reviews to all RJ Ellory's books. He describes A Quiet Belief In Angels as 'a modern masterpiece'.

    'All I will say is that there are paragraphs and chapters that just stopped me dead in my tracks....it really is a magnificent book...

    @jeremyduns
    ...Ignore all dissentors and naysayers, this book is not trying to be anything other than a great story, brilliantly told...

    ...Just buy it, read it, and make up your own mind. Whatever else it might do, it will touch your soul...'

    @jeremyduns
    This is RJ Ellory writing about his own book. And he has done this for them all, and yes, I'm proving it in the next few minutes.

    @jeremyduns
    Now look at this review by 'Nicodemus Jones': amazon.co.uk/review/R2MYCY7…
    Fri, Aug 31 2012 13:37:48
  17. jeremyduns
    @jeremyduns
    First of all, it's a 1-star reviewof Stuart MacBride's Dark Blood. I think the possibility of two massive Ellory fanatics hating that one

    @jeremyduns
    book are infinitessimally small. 'Nicodemus' and 'Jelly' also have the same complaint about it. They use the same term: 'same-old-same-old'.
    Fri, Aug 31 2012 13:37:48
  19. jeremyduns
    @jeremyduns
    Now look at the comments on that review. There are 24. 'Nicodemus' chats away a bit, then suddenly, ot of nowhere, RJ Ellory comments.
    Fri, Aug 31 2012 13:37:48
  20. jeremyduns
    @jeremyduns
    He appears to be responding to a comment directed at 'Nicodemus'. He has not been mentioned at all in the conversation.
    Fri, Aug 31 2012 13:37:48
  21. jeremyduns
    @jeremyduns
    I'll prove it in a minute, but what has happened here is Ellory slipped up. He didn't check which account he had signed in under.
    Fri, Aug 31 2012 13:37:48
  22. jeremyduns
    @jeremyduns
    So here's the proof: amazon.com/forum/mystery/…
    Fri, Aug 31 2012 13:37:48
  23. jeremyduns
    @jeremyduns
    And here: amazon.com/forum/mystery/…
    Fri, Aug 31 2012 13:37:48
  24. jeremyduns
    @jeremyduns
    And throughout that thread. 'Nicodemus' signs himself Roger, and openly identifies himself as Ellory. He gives details of his books
    Fri, Aug 31 2012 13:37:48
  25. jeremyduns
    @jeremyduns
    that only an author could. He reveals which will next be recorded as an audio book, discusses translators, mentions where he is, talks
