Brandon over at Every Read Thing had this to say about THE BURGLAR WHO COUNTED THE SPOONS:
When it comes down to it, this is light storytelling at its finest. While the history of the silver spoon was tightly researched and the reasoning behind its procurement had been interesting, the free-flowing conversations between Bernie, Carolyn and Ray were the highlight, leading to the pages breezing by. I will be seeking out the earlier Bernie novels for sure – I suggest you do the same.
Very much looking forward to my Kindle edition coming soon after reading all the reviews you folks have been posting…I’ve missed Bernie!
I can’t wait for Bernie! Will the book or e-book be available from Barnes & Noble at some point? (I’m a Nook!)
The eBook will be exclusive to Amazon. Readers who don’t have Kindles can readily download a free Kindle app for their SmartPhones or iPads or computers or, well, just about any electronic device—but not a Nook, I’m sorry to say.
The printed book will be available from other online booksellers in addition to Amazon. Several mystery specialty booksellers will have it, in store or by mail. And you can order a signed copy right now from our eBay store.
I bought the first 10 books in this series over the past few days. Thank you for placing them on sale. If these are as good as Small Town and Enough Rope I am in for some real treat.
LB, are you boycotting Nook? I’ve read every book you’ve written (well, almost) and own a Nook. Have I made a mistake?
Warren, I’m certainly not boycotting Nook, and have a majority of my work available for that platform. I’ve made several works Kindle Exclusives—including, most recently, The Burglar Who Counted the Spoons— because it was very much to my advantage to do so. As to whether or not the Nook’s a good choice, I wouldn’t presume to say. My guess is it’s too early to tell.
You don’t need a Kindle to download and read a Kindle book, and about the only device not suited to Kindle books is, alas, the Nook. I’m told there are ways to access a Kindle book with a Nook—but I’m not enough of a techie to know how to do it.
