19. Very disappointed by the details
This is supposedly set in Portland, Maine. None of the details are accurate. One of the things I've always liked about Child's books is the location detail. But I'm having a hard time getting past the things that I know are not correct. Silly things like the location of highway rest areas, description of the waterfront, etc.

The story is good but now I know I'll question details in subsequent books. I know I should accept it and I probably will but it's tough when you know the area so well.
