Getting back to the OP, has anyone mentioned that this crime author is published by a big six imprint?
The problem is with the Amazon review system, not with who is, or is not, the publisher.

You have got to be kidding about using real names and towns. There are some seriously mentally I'll people who prowl Amazons reviews.
Amazons review system and tagging just plain sucks. Authors and fellow reviewers alike are abusive and predatory with Amazon turning a blind eye. Tagging has made it so you have to dig through pages of things you are not looking for to find anything. If I search for a specific book series by a specific author, I get all sorts of books that I am not interested in. Or search for a Cole Haan cover for my DX and get cover that either are not Cole Haan or even for the DX.
Since Amazon started charging sales tax for my state, there is no more incentive to even deal with their broken system. I leave it to the loonies and cyberstalked.
