I thought that must be a typo, but when I went and checked, it is indeed saying 154 ratings on Amazon.com:
However, I fear this must be a typo on Amazon's part as it's still less than 100 reviews on Amazon UK.
Edit: Before I hit reply on this message, I checked for the actual figure on Amazon UK (it was 97 last time I looked) and it's saying 167 ratings on the UK page!
I have no idea what is happening here, but I'm screen-printing it like mad before they realise their mistake and reset it to zero or something!

Intelligent search from Bing makes it easier to quickly find what you’re looking for and rewards you.
Bing??
Obviously something I should know, but don't.......
So is the event zoom or summat else, never having been to one of these events?
Is it just the two participants on the screen?
Is it people talking on the screen or people writing text on the screen?
If there is audience participation do I need a web cam for doing audience participation?

If anyone fancies coming along to a chat with Kerry and fellow crime writer, Brian McGilloway, here's a link to a free event on Sunday 16th May - you don't need to be on Facebook to come along, this link will take you to an event link where you can sign up. It'll be craic! And it would be lovely to see some of you there xx

- The event will be on Zoom (links will be sent out a day or two before).
- There will be three participants on the screen: Jo, Brian and me. Depending on numbers, we might ask the audience to switch off their cameras as this helps those with lower download speeds (apparently).
- It will be people talking on the screen, but if anyone is hard of hearing I might set up a live transcript (slightly dodgy subtitles that often cause more amusement than assistance).
- The audience participation will probably be through a combination of questions asked in the chat (a separate box that can be seen by all unless you select a specific person to chat to, in which case it's private between you two) and maybe spoken ones at the end.
- I assume you will need some sort of webcam, but perhaps someone more tech-savvy than me could enlighten us. I don't know if you can use Zoom as a participant without one or not.
Great news on the number of reviews. 
Regarding Sunday's event.... Apart from not using Zoom (I've only used Skype for videocalls/conferencing), Sunday afternoon is when I get my second jab. But I hope it's a success.

If you do this during the event, for goodness' sake don't do it by shouting, "Cut!"

@Kerrybuchanan Sorry won't be joining. We're on Linux and the last time I looked into Zoom for a meeting (not work) a while back there were security issues and getting up to speed on Zoom with proper security was going to be a massive time and energy suck and this is only the second time in over a year that it would be useful to have.....
Hope you have a really good time (and sell books).

Hey Kerry, There are 158 ratings on the Amazon US site, and some really nice reviews. Even the highest place negative review isn't that negative at all. --- Major gripe? The police are not believable because they "act like morons." ---- Maybe s/he doesn't know many police?
--- I am convinced that you have a hit on your hands and I couldn't be happier. ---- Unless it was mine.
@Montero --- On the off chance your post means that you don't know what Bing is .... Bing is a search engine from Microsoft. I don't believe it's widely used.

I believe Zoom has a web only option. Just use your favorite browser.@Danny McG Not enlightening.

@Parson
That's exactly what my post meant - I had no idea what Bing is. Now I do.
Thanks @Wayne Mack - will look into that one day but still requires reading and checking and stuff and no time at present...

It does
Great event today @Kerrybuchanan and @Jo Zebedee! Was so nice to see you again!
I was unable to attend. Life does have a habit of upsetting my plans.
Can’t say how lovely it was to see you and @Abernovo today just before the cameras were turned off!
Yes! I was wishing we’d organised ourselves to stay on afterwards for a bit and chat. Maybe we can do another Zoom call sometime.
You know that would be so easy to set up and so lovely
I'd definitely be up for that. Zoom, or Skype, or Google Hangouts.
I could hardly believe how fast the hour went. It flowed really well. I thought both Kerry and Brian were incredibly engaging, and Jo set them up with great questions.
Should I start a thread and see which Chronners would like a drop in? @Kerrybuchanan it would be up to you if happy to host?
whisper it, I get invited to a zillion things — Chrons is the only one I’ll fight to be at xxx
I’d love this and yes, very happy to host. Like Jo, I run umpteen Zoom sessions every week, but this one I’ll really look forward to.
Let’s do it!
Let’s do it!
