Ive read about 6 now including the one with the postman entering the house to kill as mentioned upthread. Nobody said "do you see"

i will write something up (inc.a response to ledge) when you're got a bit further

its certainly very different to the tv show (which is set in the early 50s) not to mention Flambeau is quite different

Nobody said "do you see"

True but I just checked and FB says "have you noticed" and "you have not noticed" to much the same effect.

now I feel as guilty as him in using a spurious case to try and prove my point.

Still unwell and after throwing up yesterday morning I went to the docs and she thinks I have gastroenteritis so not really been able to concentrate enouh to read the past week but last night I finished 'The Sins of Prince Saradine (I worked out the ending due to a sorta similar feel on the tv series although the actual plot was very different from the tv ep)
