I tried a sample of Holding by Graham Norton but I couldn’t get my head round the very first sentence which is :
“ It was widely accepted by the residents of Duneen that , should a crime be committed and Sergeant Collins managed to apprehend the culprit , it would be very unlikely that the arrest had involved a pursuit on foot . “
“ managed “ doesn’t sound right to me. Is it right ? Is it a Kindle misprint ?
I’ve googled it but no one I can see is querying it . I wondered if anyone has the book or can shed any light on this for me.
