I couldn’t see the wood for the trees. I was wrong to jump to this conclusion.

2d finally convinced me that setter was incorrect leading to “Barker”. Not long after finding “Barnes” gave the Booker connection away so the rest was pretty much a write in.

I was post the “error” so was working with the amended clue.

Enjoyable crossword from Paul as ever.

I had similar thoughts too, but could only in the end come up with TITrator, which didn’t fit the definition no matter how hard I tried.

I had stupidly mispelled Ishiguru, so thought 8d was URIS (almost RISK?), which didn’t fit with TITRATOR either.

Otherwise no problems.

HUGH’

Is that what you meant?

My apologies for the error. I take responsibility, and will take a little more care in checking in future.

Many thanks for the opportunity to learn from you all.

Have a great day.
