Thanks for the listing.
'Blind Instinct' looks like a real stinker - apparently a book readers love to hate, perhaps THE book that would cause an author to hang up his quill in embarrassment. Those horrible reviews are quite amusing to read. Don |

Dr. Drib's post is not helpful, is mean-spirited and inappropriate for the Deals and Freebies Forum.

I don't download Walker's books, but Dr. Drib's post got me to click the link so I could read the bad reviews and I got a chuckle from Publishers Weekly's flowery language (since they couldn't just come out and say "the book is crap"): "With this seventh entry, Walker's series about FBI forensic pathologist Dr. Jessica Coran moves from original paperback to hardcover, presumably in a bid to absorb some of the Patricia Cornwell overflow. But turgid writing, heavy-handed atmospheric padding and a plot swollen with predictable turns would seem to seriously limit those aspirations." So thanks for the laugh, Dr. Drib. |

Any information that I receive about a book is helpful. I will make up my mind what to do with it. This is what these forums are for. It's not just a place to list books (freebies or otherwise) that are available.

And speaking of funny....this SP author is very popular in the UK. Now she's done a satire of e-publishing, about a group of indie authors who meet on a Kindle forum and get together on a remote island house...Lots of 'in' jokes about the indie writer scene & the reviewers they love to hate. Really pretty cute, although IMO could be cut by at least a third. But then, everybody's an editor nowadays...
Pompomberry House by Rosen Trevithick A writer's retreat seemed the perfect chance for Dee Whittaker to take her mind off her marital difficulties. However, she meets five of the most hideous writers ever to have mastered a QWERTY keyboard, and her problems quickly multiply. Things escalate further when the handyman winds up dead. After fleeing from the island, Dee attempts to get her life back on track but begins to notice that something strange is going on. The stories written on the island are coming true and hers is next - complete with a murder. Her estranged husband makes an unlikely sidekick as the two of them try to stop the literary copycat killing an innocent woman. Packed with topical references, 'Pompomberry House' provides a satirical look at the emerging world of indie publishing. |

Re: Blind Instinct. The reviews at Goodreads are actually quite decent: 60 ratings averaging 3.85. Don't believe I've seen such a difference in ratings between Amazon and Goodreads.
I don't have a problem with comments about books on this thread. Publisher's Weekly tactful review was fun to read. Last edited by BelleZora; 09-25-2012 at 02:36 PM. |

Thanks, NightBird.
'Red Alert' sounds like my kind of book. It concerns hookers, snipers and slums.... and a private detective. (I hope the latter doesn't take away from the mix!) Don |
