@MatthewH_books Not only authors. I rec’d a request on the basis of the day job & my book stuff. They use legitimate book club names, agents & editor names. They prey especially on new and self-pub authors who need & want to be seen. Has been going on for ages.

Five books by two very different giants of American writing. Elmore Leonard SPLIT IMAGES & LA BRAVA; B. Traven: THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE, THE BRIDGE IN THE JUNGLE, THE DEATH SHIP Elmore Leonard’s influence on modern crime fiction is incalculable https://t.co/kgTEMtre72

@annecater @amwbooks We must be triplets as they drive me up the wall. I’m fairly certain if you ask them to talk about the book properly they would not be able to. They make so annoyed. 😖😡

Hotel Bristol is one of Reykjavík's classiest, but what really goes on behind the scenes? And how does an overworked manager cope when he's told to lose a dead guest – and he's in too deep to refuse?
