Should crime writers stick to the rules?

Near Charing Cross Station there are a number of roads named after the former owner of York House, which previously occupied the site: George Street, Villiers Street, Duke Street and Buckingham Street. The little Of Alley was renamed York Place.

If I'm enjoying the book, some of the inaccuracies don't bother me. But if the book is only fair, and I know the setting well, I get frustrated. I had a friend rave about an author. I read the book. It was set in a city in which I had lived, and the description of the airport, which was in numerous times, was completely inaccurate. Never read the author again, and didn't enjoy the book

I don't have anything to say at the minute but I'm going to think about these rules in future reference as I'm currently writing my own detective novel and I'm seriously hoping I do the best I can to make it entertaining. These rules might help.
