You can't please all of the people all of the time

I have written before about reviews. As I said last time, if a review has useful points to make I always take them away with me, think them over and address them in my writing if I feel it is necessary.

However, they can sometime baffle. Take my latest Blizzard novel A Breach of Trust, which is available as a paperback and e-book on Amazon.

It has received mostly good reviews, four and five stars,  with glowing comments but also one that said it was disappointing and gave it one-star. Sometimes it can feel that they are reading different books!

I guess the truth is that the old adage still rings true – ‘You can’t please all of the people all of the time’.

You can buy the book at https://www.amazon.co.uk/BREACH-TRUST-Blizzard-murder-mystery-ebook...
