Yesterday I came across an even more egregious example in the same book. The nose of the main character (female) itched because there was a lot of dust and she scratched it. Well, in the book, it was written "His nose itched. She scratched it."

The editor was definitely mostly unconscious on the job.

It's not a bad book, but both the writing and editing are unbelievably sloppy, especially for a tradpub.
(And it was first published almost 30 years ago, so it has no excuse of sinking standards either).
