Thanks for the note on my article in The Writer on mystery mistakes. I've been collecting them at conferences talking to editors, agents, readers, librarians...
My latest hobbyhorse is the novel with a superfluity of viewpoints. Thriller writers can't seem to get enough of 'em, and it can capsize novel (sometimes you can't even tell who the protagonist is).
One of my favorite other gaffes is contributed by the inimitable (well, actually she's easy to imitate, impossible to equal) Janet Reid: "Continuing coincidences. The police sergeant chases someone into a building which catches fire. The fire marshals discover a body. The body happens to be the sergeant's foster other. Three other people turn up who just happen to have lived in that house..." That stuff drives me nuts, too.
Thanks, Hallie. I'm so glad you point those errors out. Once you really see them, it makes it harder to sin again.
