At least according to this crazy review of The House by S. Smith over on Amazon. Did this person read the same book I wrote? Check this out :

Two stars is the best my conscience would allow me to give. Not horribly written but there were errors. One of my major pet peeves is a British author pretending to be American. There is simply no need for this. If you wamt to write an American story, just make the protagonist from England nut living in Anerica. It would make your "tells" so much more acceptable. When the author mentioned "answerphone" instead of voicemail, I had her (or him, as I suspect since the amount of physical labor this woman completed in an afternoon would tax a man.) While the story could have been interesting, I'm afraid it was a miss for me. It read like a Harlequin Romance (or a Mills and Noon for you Brits) in places, was overly descriptive and yet managed to miss some important details in others. The profanity that flowed from the main character was unnecessary. Was it just there for shock value? It didn't add a thing to the story. It would have been helpful in understanding the extreme anger at her employer to have a few more details about what had happened to her with this stalking incident and these "rumors" about her that were alluded to. My husband works in academia and I found the portrayal of the atmosphere insulting. Glad I only "borrowed" this and didn't actually pay for it."
What do you think? Is it me or is this both sexist and anti-British?
Gosh, and all this time I thought I was an American woman. Who knew? ;-)
Guess I needed this nutter to tell me. Whoops, there I go again showing my British manliness...;-)
