Bargain.

Amazon.com are now selling the hardback of The Gentle Axe (US edition, mailed from the US) for the knock down price of $7.99.

Perfectly priced for Christmas, I'd say! And according to the good folk at BookLoons, it would make a perfect Christmas present, as it's made it into their recommended reads of 2007. Here's the original BookLoons review by Tim Davis.

This week I will mostly be blogging at The Rap Sheet.

I'm honoured to have been invited over to The Rap Sheet, where I will be posting all week. Aside from my ramblings about Gentle Axe, I can promise you a number of great interviews with great writers. And a few other surprises, I hope.

My thanks (again!) to David Isaak for drawing my attention to this review in the Washington Post.

Some pull-out quotes:

R.N. Morris's lively, literate "The Gentle Axe"

"The Gentle Axe" is a deftly plotted, enjoyable literary thriller. It's not another "Crime and Punishment," but it's a novel that, once begun, you're likely to read all the way through.

I google trawled another review too. From a site called BookLoons. The reivewer there calls it a 'top-notch mystery'.

See you at The Rap Sheet!
