Matthew Prigge answered Eddie's question: I’m a puzzled about the one‑star review you left for my upcoming book, Zodiactually: The Real Story of a Fake Serial Killer. We don’t know each other, and my publisher hasn’t released any advance copies yet, so I’m not sure how you arrived at that rating? It’s a shame, because you genuinely seem like someone I would have enjoyed talking to. We clearly share a lot of the same interests. The publisher put a galley on Edelweiss-Plus in December. That's where I found it.
