[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 424819, member: 2244"] I think riff has nailed it ! The number of tobacco users of all types has diminished substantially since the time of Conan Doyle etc. Take the time honored "news room" of most major newspapers which were a haze of smoke from all the tobacco use back in the early part of the twentieth century to todays goup of "writers" who work in smoke free environments and who are probably non-smokers themselves have no reference point for tobacco use in life !! As most writers of novels reference their own experiences, living in a world of no tabacco use would explain so much !! Worse than the no tobacco use to me is the LANGUAGE !! 21st century catch phrases have NO place in a novel such as this and only point out the authors ineptitude at their craft !! :twisted: :twisted: [/QUOTE]
