When a prestigious crime fiction website offers to review your novel, it's a nail-biting experience waiting for their verdict on your precious work.
I must admit I was nervous. Would Murder at the Seaview Hotel be too cosy for their liking, too twee? Too funny? Not enough blood, guts and gore?
Well, I needn't have worried.
The book was not only well received by the site, but given a sterling 5 star review and they even said this about it too:
Author Glenda Young has a lightness of touch worthy of a master baker award as she melds together a tale that is both laugh-out-loud funny and lump-in-the throat sad. Her depiction of a woman deep in grief could be cloying, but instead it is poignant and rings true. The downbeat moments are tempered by the fun of the Elvises – including Helen, acting as a last-minute stand-in called Helvis and providing one of the highlights in a book that is a pleasure to read.
Thank you, Crime Fiction Lover!
