Pedantic Englishman

Where was your editor?
An otherwise above average crime novel spoiled for this reader by one glaring error. At one point the English psychiatrist's English wife suggests they retire back to England. She has her eye on a small cottage just outside Nottingham a short walk to the sea. Anyone who lived previously in Manchester (like the couple in question) knows that Nottingham is about 120 km from the sea.

Some walk. What an amateur error.
