Join the growing list of Readers Smarter Than a Harper Collins Editor.
Way back when Harper Collins UK began their writers site authonomy, an earlier version of Boomerang was one of the first books to reach the coveted Editor's Desk. Here is some of what the H/C editor had to say:
This is clearly a fun and light-hearted romp of a mystery story, full of adventure and humor. The author shows skill in crafting a sentence as well as creating developed, well-rounded characters. The story is madcap and crazy plot twists keep the reader turning the pages. It has a nice international feel, with lots of locations that would appeal to a wide audience, and lots of “hooks” for publicity or marketing to use, such as the jazz angle, or the smuggling angle, or the political angle, etc. These kind of hooks are important if you want a book to really succeed in the marketplace, and here the author certainly covers plenty of bases.
Of course, if they had picked up the book (the editor added "I thought the language almost too clever in parts." and thought I should get rid of Oz the dog, which just ain't happening) it wouldn't be available for just $0.99! So if you like your reading as described above, and don't mind dogs and language that is almost, but evidently not quite too clever (which to my mind means it is just clever enough!), give Boomerang a try.
