I hate to do this because 'Dead or Alive' is actually a pretty good thriller with a huge plot consisting of several threads, most of which come to a close by the end of the book (only a little is left over for sequels).
In chapter 64, we read [Nayoan] cleans his Web browser history almost daily, right down to the temporary files and cookies. Good practice if one is involved in nefarious activities. Yet in chapter 74 we read “Nayoan’s lazy. When we tossed his place, we found he never cleaned out his Web browser history.” Oh dear. Because he never cleaned out his browser history, a whole list of file sharing sites are found - except that he does clear his browser history so the list should never have been found. This is very much a plot hole!
Other than that, the only other mistake that I found was 'brake' was misspelled once as 'break' - problematic as in the next paragraph, 'brake' is spelt correctly (the references are to a truck).
I think that my next book to read will be my second run through 'Diet, Drugs and Dopamine'1. I have been very strict regarding time-limited eating and so my weight has returned to 85.0 kg yesterday morning. Fridays are the best day of the week regarding this technique: I had a slice of bread with cheese yesterday at 16:30 and had breakfast this morning only at 9:30, so that's seventeen hours without eating. Inbetween, I walked about 10,000 steps and swam 20 lengths, so I certainly exercised my body. If that doesn't burn off visceral fat then nothing will. On Friday evening, supper is at 19:00 and Saturday morning breakfast again at 9:30 with less walking inbetween but still with the 20 lengths, so this makes a slightly smaller contribution. I really hope that next week I'll burst through the psychological barrier of 85 kg.
I've discovered that one local television channel is about to broadcast a show based on the first Armand Gamache novel, 'Three pines', so that should be interesting to watch.
