A Killing of Innocents - Deborah Crombie Gebunden

I enjoyed the story but noticed that the editing was not carried out to the usual high standards. What hampered my reading were the large number of Americanisms for a novel set in London. Even if the author is American, editors should pick up on this. The constructions/vocabularly that are still in mind after having finished the book are: "Go wash up" instead of "Go and wash your hands" - "Go wash up" could be construed as "go and wash up the dishes!". In Britain one can obtain a full driving licence for a passenger car at the age of 17 NOT 18 (reference to Kit) - at least the facts ought to be checked. When Doug Cullen visits Tully Gibbs for the first time and makes her a cup of tea he puts in "heaping teaspoonfuls" of sugar rather than the customary "heaped teaspoonfuls". When Gemma goes to Bottle with Jasmine her coat is described as "golden rod" in colour - a plant native to North America. When one buys a book/e-book in this price category one expects better editing that had it been cheaper!

Wie alle Bücher von Deborah Crombie sensationell!
