Hahaha. Desperate Times = Desperate Measures

Nothing too dreadfully major, is it? It's not like Haydock's car having two seats enabled the murderer to jump out of the hotel window safely and thus commit the crime. 9I'm exaggerating slightly, but still...)

Good point. And really, at that stage in the book, i was already too absorbed in what was happening to notice. Was a very good book, i think.

Heh.  I've got this crazy mental picture of five characters sitting on each other's laps, hanging on to the side of the car, and clinging to the sides, trying not to fall out of the car.

I have seen loads of people get into a car when following people so it didn't seem odd to me but I did for get Haydock had a 2-seater, I too was too aborbed with the book to notice, I finished it last night and I think it is my Favourite Tomy and Tuppence book but I might have said that about others except By The Pricking of My Thumbs. I was just swept away by it. I give it 10 as IMHO it was perfect in every way

It didn't seem odd to me.  When I was a teenager, we piled into my uncle's VW bug with 5 adults and 7 children. 

The way I see it here is 3 people in front (which is possible if they had a bench instead of 2 separate seats) and 2 people sitting in the back on the booth.
