    • Hi Happy Hound. Thanks for taking the time to read through my work. I decided to go with the 99p or 99c option as I'm an unproven author and perhaps more people would give it a go for a few pennies rather than if I were selling it for six or seven quid (or dollars!). Once my name's out there, it will be easier to get my next novel read too :) As for the suggestions you made, I can see what you mean about the simple sentence structures. I was trying to generate a mood in the opening chapter and the style (I hope) settles down through the rest of the novel, returning to the darker, direct style, whenever the killer comes back into the narrative. I'm glad you liked it, all the same, and thank you for the complements :)
