Now in general, when you think of LA, you think of it as being sunny all the time (Which of course, it pretty much is) but reading that book set in that time period that there was a huge rainstorm, and I actually remember it - adds a whole dimension to me...
Hence why I was curious about the weather in 'The Killing' - In the same way as 'most people' think of LA as being sunny, I am aware that Seattle is supposed to be a bit 'Gloomy'... But simply wondered if what they showed on TV (Its only just started being shown in the UK) was 'accurate' or a televisual device
So thanks

I'll have to read that Koontz book. I like his stuff and and it sounds like it has atmosphere and depth to it.
