I know the idea is that the first half of the book is allegedly by Alan Conway. Remind me when Agents and Publishers switched from wanting typed MSS, to Times Roman printouts or files?

Did no reviewer with an ARC say, "Nice idea, but ditch the monospace font?"
TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN PAGES of monospace font! Yet fully justified, so looks a bit like a fake monospace font, because it's not actually monospaced due to the justification varying letter spaces.
The eBook of Magpie Murders is not in monospace.
