Brock & Kolla

review 1: Creepy. Poison kind of freaks me out a little. Lots of stuff about libraries. I'm wondering if it really is this easy to look at the borrowing records of people in UK libraries? Cuz--and this is key--this book would NEVER work in the US because we don't keep a list of what people use, nor will librarians voluntarily (i.e., without a warrant/subpoena) give up to the police any requests made by patrons.
review 2: Another dependably good mystery featuring the British team of Brock and Kolla. Kolla has been promoted and gets her first murder investigation to head -- but it's a rather odd one. Marion Summers, a twenty-something graduate student, dies of arsenic poisoning while doing research at a London library. It's not entirely clear whether this is murder or s... moreuicide, and as Kolla looks deeper into Marion's life, she finds all sorts of secrets. I did like the way Marion's research topic -- concerning the pre-Raphaelites like Dante Gabriel Rosetti and William Morris -- tied into the murder investigation. less
