BLURB: SHE DAZZLED NEW YORK (Swan Police Department)

An attractive single woman with an intriguing personality said, “Don’t look, you may see something you should not.” Swinging her leg up and over the saddle of a policeman’s horse. From there the officer would ride her thru 1950’s New York, its Times Square, Broadway Theatres, over to gaze from up high Bergdorf Goodman display windows and onto The Empire State Building. Evening, they dined in the Plaza Hotel Oak Room.
Her name, Balalaika, being a Russian Aristocrat, had two sisters, Violin and Clarinet. They opened a Fifth Ave Jewelry Shop. We all know how dicey that would be.

I think this just failed the Turing Test.

I’ve gone on dates that also could not pass the Turing Test!

Yeah, who hasn’t–but I’ll bet that they all could do better than this book description could! We need a tag for that one. “Turing Test Reject!” (yes, yes, I stole that from XXX. Kinda.)

One of my pet peeves is phrases like “An attractive single woman with an intriguing personality.” If her personality actually is intriguing, we’ll know because we’ll be intrigued by her. And if it isn’t, then repeating over and over in a loud voice that she’s just so intriguing isn’t going to convince anyone.

And don’t forget her sisters, Guitar, Lyre and Sitar!

“Don’t look, you may see something you should not.”

At least we were warned.

The fourth, fatter, uglier sister, Gutbucket, was hidden away in the family Mansion attic.

“Swinging her leg up and over the saddle of a policeman’s horse. From there the officer would ride her thru 1950s New York.”

So… she turned into a horse? I can’t read that any other way.
