I also really enjoyed What if…? however, it is not my typical read. I am generally in to fiction, but novels are my choice. I actually don’t even know if I had ever read a thriller before. This one was well worth it thoguh, for sure.

I just wanted to thank you for a great review. And for not revealing too much about the story! As you can imagine, it’s always nerve-wracking reading a review of your work, but it’s doubly so when one little spoiler can ruin the entire story for potential readers. Thank you.

I’m absolutely thrilled you enjoyed ‘What if…?’ and that you found it kept you guessing right through to the end. There’s nothing worse than being able to predict what happens next in a ’suspense’ novel, is there? Not only does that totally ruin the story but it removes any suspense the writer might have tried to create. Oh, and I’m pleased you resisted the temptation to read the ending first! Glad you found it worth waiting for.

“What If . . .? is also a legal drama, a mob story, a medical mystery, a romance, and a quasi-religious human rights treatise.” That’s some list! I’m so pleased you found so much in the book to entertain you. But I do know what you mean – it’s difficult even for me to describe without going into great detail or giving away too much.

The cover? I’m sorry that didn’t do it for you. Feedback on the cover seems to be of a love it or loathe it nature. Unfortunate in one way, but in another, at least people are talking about it, which, whether positively or negatively, raises the book’s profile and makes other people wonder about it, too.

Oh, and I’m sorry I’ve written a story so full of mystery and intrigue that it makes reviewing it difficult! I’ll try to do a better job next time;-)

Thanks for being such a pleasure to work with, both as a reviewer and an individual, Christine. Good luck with She Reads Books. All the best,
Steve
