Does this blurb make my book look good? Or bad? – The Realm of Misleading Book Descriptions

Today I noticed something rather disturbing. A book description that actually tells false facts about a book. This really disturbed me because this isn’t only bad for us as the readers, it can actually also really hurt the author.

What if the blurb says something that makes the book look like something it isn’t? Let’s take a look at the offending part of the description I’m talking about:

Explore This! Meiringen, Switzerland

Today, our world tour takes us to Meiringen, Switzerland. I must admit, before looking into this area, I had never even heard of Meiringen!

When I think Switzerland,  I think Geneva, mountains, skiing and just a general sense of peace. What I’ve never associated with it though is Sherlock Holmes! But, it is the famous detective that has brought me to this scenic destination, which, of course, I had to share with you.

Meiringen is the home of an apparently fantastic Sherlock Holmes museum, complete with items from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s own study and a re-enacted set up of Holmes’ environ (this is according to Graham Moore, author of The Sherlockian.)

A statue of Holmes, truly a larger than life figure in popular fiction for over a …
