In the last few months the universe has been playing with my head. 

It all started with

Still Waters by Nigel McCrery.  An odd book no doubt about it, but rather engaging, some outlandish plot elements alongside some sobering all too realistic elements.

then came:

Still Waters by Camilla Noli.  Not my cup of tea at all.

but today arrived:

Still Waters by Judith Cutler.  I'll be reviewing that as soon as I can.

 

Now I can't decide if this is just "find a good title and flog it to death" syndrome;  the world's greatest coincidence or just the favourite phrase is some part of the universe, but it is interesting that so many books - same title yet publishers often change the title of books to "avoid confusion in the reader's minds" (I'm thinking of Diamond Dove in particular which was changed to avoid confusion with the Lovesey "Diamond" books).

So you have to wonder - a little like and it can't be done!  Totally identical and let's flog it to death?
