I see she's been trolled a bit on the Amazon reviews now, this being my favorite:
"Imagine my disappointment when I listened to this, expecting "an exciting sea adventure with enough suspense and romance" to make me laugh and cry, set in exotic locations like Greece, Lebanon and, topically enough, Libya. And what did I get? A dry tale of accountancy procedural changes set against the social upheaval of 1960s Margate. Will our heroine manage to adapt to new guidelines regarding small-to-medium sized company payroll dates and get a new dress in time for Friday's big dance? I neither know nor care, frankly. One star only, and that is solely for the cover art - I was impressed, if not entirely surprised, that it featured the story's single interesting character, the mysterious and enigmatic freak man with a female head growing from the small of his back. His moving death scene, where he is killed by a swarm of revenge-crazed bees, stands as Howett's tour de force. Sadly the rest of the story does not even scale the foothills of this mountainous peak of dramatic storytelling. "
