Isobel Starling answered Lisa's question: I sent you a question a few days ago. It seems that The Shooting Season when borrowed from Amazon is actually The Gentleman's thief. I know because I received the Gentleman's thief and had already read the story. I hope you see this so it can be sorted out at Amazon. I couldnt find any other contact info for you? Hi. I don't come onto goodreads often. Thanks for alerting me to the book file glitch. I contacted Amazon and we are sorting it out.
