Query: Fascinating story, ignore the editorial glitches

This book is a very enjoyable read. The backstory begins around 1900, then the crime and subsequent investigation occur in 1941. The setting is California, the fictional town of Eureka to begin with, then Los Angeles is added in 1941. An apparently accidental death is suspected to be homicide, and the investigation that follows is most interesting. The characters are well-drawn and the setting is fully realized. In the early pages there are several instances of very sloppy editing - like a character getting into a Ford, then getting out of a Chevrolet a paragraph or two later. These are annoying, but they only occur in the first few pages of the book.
