Richard Osman says he may need to make a change to his latest murder mystery after some readers notice what they describe as a significant mistake. The reports say the issue comes from a detail that readers believe is incorrect, prompting anger and criticism.
According to the accounts, Osman is responding to the feedback and reconsidering the book’s content. Both outlets frame the situation as an unexpected reaction to reader scrutiny rather than an planned editorial revision. The coverage also suggests the author’s forthcoming adjustments are tied specifically to the “glaring” error identified by readers, though neither report provides full specifics of the mistake or the exact correction planned.
Overall, the outlets agree that reader discovery of an error drives the author’s reconsideration, but they differ slightly in emphasis—one stresses that readers are “furious,” while the other describes the process as a forced change triggered by the mistake.
