Scope and content
Letter with feedback on initial full draft of 'Bad Luck and Trouble' (working title – novel was later published as 'Killing Floor'), with three general points emphasising character/plot structure/pace, and twelve detailed points.
‘Firstly I feel I should reassure you that if we didn’t feel strongly about your book we wouldn’t take the time and trouble to have three people read it and to make contact and comments’ ‘the structure of the book has to be a chase. Otherwise it is an ordinary run of the mill crime novel, enjoyable, yes but not highly profitable'.
