Both of those instances sound quite justified to me! I've fallen for the "religious tract disguised as a free mystery" thing myself, but I took it as an interesting new experience (being both a non-American and a non-religious person, I'd had no idea such entire genre existed) and decided to be more careful in the future.

Yes. This is exactly what prompted me to post in the "vent and rant" thread about the meet-up/author-signing at B&N I ended up shying away from, though that was more a legal thriller genre than a cozy or something. It took me about 2 minutes of looking at the book and a few words from the author for me to realize what was up. I remained pleasant, of course, complimented her on the cover, and went on my way.
