Me too. If this book bangs on about her murdered drug dealer boyfriend I’ll be skipping that too, and being cross about her using it as page-filler.

I’ve only read the Preface and I’m sick of her already.

What's the gossip?

Is the book any good? Anything we don't know?

A couple of new bits. A few minor errors.

Darko worked at the same place as Turtur (Kelvinator).
Clocker was far more involved than previously suspected. Clocker is not referred to by name, just as “the businessman’s apprentice” which might mean his name is still suppressed.
MrB’s sister shut her down. No indication she found Mr B. I think she would have contacted him if she did. She confronted Richo at his shop so she wasn’t afraid to do the hard stuff.

Errors:
She says Mother Goose is still in gaol, but bth spoke to him not long ago & he is at his house in Vale Park..
She calls BvE’s pet doctor “Doctor Roberts” twice which might mean we have it wrong, but could also mean Dr Robert (as in Cowan), & it’s a typo in the book. There are other typos:
She spells Pru as Prue.
She refers to Preacher as Peter once.
She says Mark Langley lived at Newtown, not Newton.

All in all, unsurprising.
