Last para of Chapter 19 (page 195 in my hard cover).
"Brady and Jerome sit on the porch steps and talk about ghosts."

It seems completely out of context with the preceding material, that Brady would be sitting with Jerome. Surely he means Hodges? Unless I have missed a subtlety?

Hmmmm.. Maybe Woodsie is from another country and has a different edition?
Yes I am in New Zealand and you could well be right. My copy (borrowed from local library) is a first ed, published by Hodder & Stoughton of London, June 2014.
I didn't expect to get this much feedback so fast, so thanks everyone. I gave up on SK a while back but am enjoying this one.

We are a good bunch of Constant Readers here. A better message board you'll be hardpressed to find. Hope you 'll read a few more SK books while you're here. Have you read Joyland?

And... Welcome! :watermelon:
