I think publicity and marketing is key in publishing and it's such a shame these books didn't get enough of it.<br /><br />JulieJulie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546678603569056691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-6821850693136274192010-07-30T09:52:27.702+01:002010-07-30T09:52:27.702+01:00I read THE DYING GAME a couple of years ago.

A girl witnesses the murder of a Russian prostitute and is then contacted by the dead girl's brother. Together they find out what happened to her. All set against questions about arranged marriages and young teen love. Terrific.Anne Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122890017026913723noreply@blogger.com
