Christmas rush?

Not that I check out my amazon page very often, you understand, but I must have accidentally clicked on it today whilst looking for some other book. I discovered this message:

Only 2 left in stock--order soon (more on the way).

What has prompted this sudden surge in demand for A Vengeful Longing, I don't know. Could it be that people are snapping it up as a Christmas present for the discerning reader of historical crime fiction?

If so, I hope amazon are as good as their word and get some more copies in. Pronto.

Important notice from amazon.co.uk

This item will be delivered in time for Christmas in the UK.

Today.

Is my son Luke's 7th birthday. We got him two goldfish (plus all the accoutrements). He called one Goldie and the other Sunshine, though he is thinking of changing Sunshine's name to Sparkle.

On the subject of gifts, crimeficreader has a few suggestions of her own for Christmas.
