Yes, it was speech/dialogue by every character.
I mentioned before the paper edition of Magpie Murders that was about half typeset in typewriter style monospace. There was a tenuous reason for it. It just made me feel sympathy for Publisher's editors and slush pile readers of more than 30 years ago.
It made it unreadable. So I bought the ebook thinking at least I could fix it. Oddly the ebook edition I got didn't have that pretentious stupidity and I didn't need to edit the CSS.
