What a review!

Oh dear, someone didn’t read the book.  Or at least not right the way through!  This American man has done a review and – what a laugh!  He thinks the title is misleading and people who like ghost stories will buy it.  Duh! - as they say in America.  Underneath the title it says ‘A Cleo Marjoribanks Murder Mystery’ and, anyway, surely a prospective purchaser will read the blurb.

He also, rightly, says not everyone knows what a Parador is.  If he’d read the book he’d have quickly found out – within the first few pages – that this one is a high class hotel in a historic house.  From his comment about the opening I think he expected the place to be littered with bodies.  Apparently there wasn’t enough suspense for him.  Perhaps he doesn’t know the difference between a ‘cosy crime’ and a thriller and he obviously doesn’t like ‘cosy crime.’

I do agree with him about the cover – up to a point.  The only historic house photos available were either English (unsuitable) or too famous to be used for this purpose.  Now, if this man had read the book he would understand the allusions.  Or would he?  David and I found Angel’s body in the herbaceous border and many of the footpaths in the gardens are of grass.  The rose?  There was a smashing rose garden and I adore roses.

Anyway, finishing on a positive note, he did say the ‘book was well put together’.

Poltergeists in the Parador is available on Kindle, Kobo, I-Pad, Sony, Nook and umpteen other e-readers, some vie Smashwords.com where there is also a computer version.  Incidentally, don't forget that Kindle and Nook have Apps available.
