It annoys me a lot. It also causes me to wonder what other errors there are that I don't know about.
I keep thinking one of these days I'm going to write to Robert Crais and tell him:
a. There are no lightning bugs in Southern California (or anywhere else in CA as far as I know).
b. Seagulls do not fly in a V-formation.
c. Route 66 started in Chicago and ended in Santa Monica - it did not go to
PA or anywhere else east of Chicago.
Even though he is originally from Louisiana, he has lived in So. CA long enough to know better. If he doesn't know, he should check it out. For me, this kind of error is jarring to the flow of the story line.
From another author, I've recently run into nightingales singing on the east coast of the U.S.
