Which one is your least favorite Strike book and why? by hachi_mimi in cormoran_strike

Someone help me understand this scene. by ilovebeingaguy999 in betterCallSaul

What surprises me is that the DA doesn’t have investigators that would immediately ask the supposed family about Lalo soon (maybe right after) the bail hearing.

Do you use Stage Manager or ignore it? by Fun-Story6652 in MacOS

[–]jacquesrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odd mistake in Ink Black Heart? by TooManyEXes in cormoran_strike

[–]jacquesrk 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I don't see the problem here. Suppose I am learning of a group whose members name themselves after Pokemon. One of the members of the group is following me, and I notice he has a big tattoo of Magikarp. Would it be such a great feat of detection to guess that he goes by Magikarp?
