'the narrative equivalent of thrashing frantically with a spade in a deep hole'. Well said!
And I worried about that one. The author did a plot set-up which was unnecessary to the plot (I thought) and then had to be clumsily explained away late in the novel to no purpose. But it was pretty good on the whole.
I haven't read the book so cannot confirm or deny, it but it was a fun turn of phrase.
