Murder by Death

I know this is a British vs. American English thing, and I'm not suggesting at all that one is more or less correct than the other, but Edwards habit of referring to authors as founder members is driving me a little bonkers.  It's so clunky when I try to read it in my head; I want it to say founding member.  My brain tries to make it so, but my eyes trip over the discrepancy and I keep getting distracted.

Of course not so distracted that I'm not finding books and more books to add to my TBR lists...
