The Slaughter Pavilion has had some great press reviews – another one from Joan Smith in the Sunday Times last week.
But if anyone has read and enjoyed The Slaughter Pavilion I'd be deeply grateful if you might consider writing a brief reader review for www.Amazon.co.uk .
I've done most of my Christmas shopping online – partly because spending pounds in China is now an immensely expensive business. And partly because most of my time between now and Christmas Day is going to be spent travelling. Anyway, I find, as I shop on Amazon, that I really pay attenting to star ratings, and to reader or user reviews.
One of the problems, with selling hardbacks, is that many bookshops choose not to stock them, and to wait for the paperback. So even as nice reviews appear in the press, buyers don't necessarily see them on the bookshelves in their local Borders or Waterstones. Very frustrating. So Amazon is important. Incidentally, if anyone has news of a bookshop sighting of The Slaughter Pavilion, or has had trouble finding a copy, I'd really like to hear about it. Please do email me to let me know at catherine@catherinesampson.com Thank you!
