One thing's for sure - the cover jumps out at you in the
context it was displayed in (new crime/mystery releases).
From that point of view it most definitely fulfils its
function. I hope it goes well for you. At any rate, Abbey's
Bookshop in Sydney have got at least half a dozen copies on
the shelves. They must be expecting to sell a few.
