Just a brief comment on a glaring error that I was amazed found its way past the editors. At one point, protagonist Kinsey Millhone makes a phone call and is answered by a receptionist who asks, “Who shall I say is calling?”. Grafton mentions how Millhone is often annoyed by this grammatical error, thinking it should be ‘Whom shall I say is calling?’. Ironically, the receptionist is correct. ‘Who’ is correct, not ‘whom’ because the pronoun it stands for is not the object of ‘say’. The quickest way to see this is to consider a possible answer to the question with a pronoun that inflects–the answer would be ‘I shall say she is calling’ not ‘I shall say her is calling’. While yes, it could be argued that Grafton wanted to characterize her protagonist as being fussy yet misguided about proper speech, somehow I find it very difficult to believe that the error is not Grafton’s own!
