Where

"I have once revised a book where absolutely no grammatical mistakes can be detected".

Hi, can "where" be used here? If not, is it a "common" mistake? Also, is it fine to use "detected" in the sentence above?

Thank you in advance.

Yes, it is often used there. There are worse problems with the sentence, I assure you.

Have you used the correct verb? Reviewed? Read? 'Detected' is o.k., but 'found' is more nat

I cannot answer that until you answer this: When did the revision occur, before or after the detection?

Hmmm, I think "revise" is the correct choice, thanks for your point on "detected"...and thank you for taking the time to read and reply.
