The plot for Such a Pretty Smile is very convoluted, and it’s tough to describe it without revealing secrets that get unveiled later on in the book - so I’m trying my best to be careful here as much as I might be being vague. So there appears to be saleability here, but is the book any good? Well, the answer’s a little bit complicated and is both yes and no. Martin’s Press get announced first print runs of just 50,000 to 75,000 copies. Such a Pretty Smile’s first publication run is 100,000 copies, which is a staggering amount when I’ve seen other thrillers from St. To this end, Kristi DeMeester - whose previous publishing credits appear to have been with smaller or at least independent presses - is getting a bit of a gamble from her big-name publisher for this one. But it could mean something else: the publisher does have confidence in the book, but they’re releasing it into a field where there’s not as much big-name competition to give it more of a fighting chance.
After all, January is the season when people’s credit card bills are still maxed out from Christmas, and they’re otherwise not spending as much money regardless. First, it could mean that the publisher has absolutely no confidence in the title. Such a book could either mean one of two things.
I always look with some skepticism towards books that are released in January, especially those by relatively unknown writers.
