Just read a detective novel. It wasn't bad. But then at the end, the author made an elementary scientific mistake on a critical plot point in the resolution. It rather lowered my overall estimation of the book - perhaps more because it was at the end of the book. I don't know about you, but this kind of thing can really take away my overall rating of a book.

The mistake was really one of genetics, but it related to eye colour. Of no matter really except that I then embarked on a catchup read on science feeds and the first article I read was about colour perception. It has a cool slideshow. The lead in referred to Lovecraft and colours that were beyond normal perception. Reminds me of something I looked at a few weeks back.
