I tried to post in here yesterday and kept getting an error message. Goodreads thinks I'm a spam bot!

I emailed them to myself so I will keep trying.

Koren  (koren56) | 1597 comments Just a heads up! Gregg Olsen has a new book out-American Black Widow. It is the same book he put out in 1998 called Bitch on Wheels and later put out again called The Confessions of an American Black Widow : A True Story of Greed, Lust and a Murderous Wife. So, three times he has issued this book under different names. Anyone know why this is done? I'm guessing to get you to buy the same book three times.

Adding this to the multiple-titles discussion, if it isn't already there! But yes, I think it is a marketing ploy, maybe not to get you to buy the same book twice but maybe to attract readers who might be interested in a slightly different title.

I understand if they make it clear it is a re-issue. Very aggravating to buy a book I've already read. Thankfully I read the book description and thought it sounded familiar.

Which makes it necessary to read the jacket blurb, which also often spoils the whole story for you. GRR

The first edition came out 25 years ago, so hopefully by reissuing, it will attract new readers to the genre.

Koren  (koren56) | 1597 comments Gregg Olsen is finally coming out with a new tc book on 12/12 called The Amish Wife: Unraveling the Lies, Secrets, and Conspiracy That Let a Killer Go Free. If you read Abandoned Prayers: The Incredible True Story of Murder, Obsession and Amish Secrets then you will recall that the Amish man who killed his little boy also had his wife die mysteriously. 20+ years later, Olsen investigates the wife's death. I have Amazon Prime and this book popped up when I took my monthly free book as a bonus selection but I think you can get it for 1.99 if you are not a member.

Now Amazon is saying a Jan. 1 release date and the book is 4.99. All I know for sure I was able to get it for free after I picked my monthly free book.

Now this is one of the books that I have, in fact, been praying for. I've wanted to know for so long about this one. Thank you, Gregg Olsen!
