I’m only one chapter and change into this book right now and already I’ve heard the author’s name pronounced “Doo-Boyce” rather than the appropriate “Doo-BWAH”. I’ve suffered through the attempted recantation of the expression “Thank goodness for small miracles” as “thank God for small favors” and the butchering of one my favorite expressions: “Making the beast with two backs” into “Doing the two-backed beast”.

Whether this due to ignorance or laziness is of no matter, as I find both to be equally disgusting character traits.

Even for a crime writer.
