This is one that should have gone on the post that I just put up about Killers being stupid. at the very end Alex tries to convince Columbo that he put the flower on after the concert in his dressing room when Columbo clearly saw him pick it up and put it on his coat at Miss Wells apartment. How stupid and irritating.
Benedict tried to make it seem as If he already had the flower pinned but he knocked it off when removing his overcoat.

ok one more example then i promise i'll stop....When Alex is told Jennifer Wells didn't show up for the concert...he yells " cancel her, i don't care if she shows up now. We got the Beethoven , it's all rehearsed". yeah, and your point is......

One thing that irked me about "Etude in Black", not having to do with Alex Benedict. It has to do with his mother-in-law. What really irked me was when she ordered for her daughter at the restaurant. This showed me how weak Janice really was. Any one agree with me.

This has nothing to do with the rest of the story, but at the start of the final scene he tells the orchestra to take a break and says "We'll continue when you feel like rehearsing."
Obviously that isn't anything much, and it's probably about the SMALLEST angry thing he ever says to them, but it sounds sort of "snippy."

Just another thing that bothered me but it involves Lt. Columbo. I did not like when he got into Alex Benedict's car at the repair shop. He hardly knows the fellow.

People always seem to forget ONE of his lines to Audrey. When she says "My mind or my body?" and he says "Both," he also says very quickly "Give me a break." And he says it in that panicky way, as if he's terrified someone will overhear that part. So he KNOWS that saying "Both" was kind of a dumb thing to do. And he's also ticked off that she even asks him a question like that, since it could really make trouble for him. So it's not like that part is pictured as completely all right by the story, either what she says or what he says.
