Jeff Barber asked this question about Beating About the Bush (Agatha Raisin, #30):

One book says Mrs. Bloxby's first name is Sarah, another says her name is Margaret. Simon moves to the Cotswold's because his parents died and it's a pretty central part of the story . Literally the next book they are alive and well. Agatha tells Tony about her past. A few books later that therapist lady finds out and tells the whole village about Agatha's poor roots. Then a few books after that Tony starts to "suspect" Agatha had a poor upbringing like her. ....????? In one book a set of twins that are one male and one female are called identical twins (which is biologically impossible. They're fraternal). One chapter she's having lunch with someone on Wednesday then pages later she's worried it's going to snow too hard for her to go to lunch with him on...Saturday. I've been listening to the audiobooks back to back and even though it's so bad I just can't stop listening haha.(less)
