Yeah, I don't know why everyone has to add SF or fantasy or paranormal to their mysteries right now. That was a thing a while back, and then seemed to have taken a break, but seems to be spooling up again. When done well (I am just in love with Robert Jackson Bennett's Ana/Din Leviathan books, or Martha Wells' Murderbot, or, of course, Isaac Asimov's classic Elijah Baley books) it's great to have my favorite and next-favorite genres melded. But when it feels like an add-on, from either direction

, it feels a bit like pandering.
Oh, and BTW,
The Frozen People is now price-matched at £0.99 at Kobo UK.
