It's about a cricket star who gets killed in an arson incident. (I'm pretty certain that much is on the back of the book so I wouldn't be spoiling much by mentioning that's the crux of the plot.) If so, what did you think about the cricket in that book? I’m curious to find out if you’ve read Elizabeth George’s Playing For the Ashes.

Every expert they quoted said, quite plainly, that the New York Metropolitan Dialect was changing. That's when I stopped relying on the NYTimes for accurate news. The US newspaper I find most accurate is USA Today. Which astonishes some people, because it's not One of the Most Respected.
