Presence

While I was recovering from my tonsillectomy, I read John Grisham's The Broker. It was a pretty bad book. Besides that, I found a glaring factual error that completely ruined any sense of realism to the story. On page 227 (Hardcover edition), Mr. Grisham writes:

After work, Helen Wang stopped at a Kroger store in Bethesda.

But as you can clearly see, there are no Kroger's in Bethesda! Or in the entire state of Maryland, for that matter.

John Grisham, I own you. I'll expect a complimentary copy of your next book, along with a mention in the acknowledgements. Next time you write a novel that takes place in DC, get in touch with me and I'll fill you in on all the local grocery chains.
