Library Lover's Mystery

review 1: Thank goodness for a library mystery where the librarian isn't an old fashioned steptype of the prim and proper old maid. Too bad most of the book's other characters are obvious "characters"...the childish children's librarian, the small-minded small-town cop, etc. And just once, I'd like to read a book where the librarian protagonist wasn't single. Just once! Without giving anything away, I thought the killer was a stretch, but predictable at the same time (there was no one else it could have been), and the motive was a bit thin. I' not ready to dismiss this series just yet, but it's not on y A list either.
review 2: I had missed this author and series, and I am glad it was featured this month. Really enjoyed the book, and as someone who currently lives ... morein Connecticut, was fun to read about real places. The characters seemed real and behaved in realistic ways. I loved the way that McKinlay weaves 'today' into the book (like the bits around how Grissom could solve the case :). All in all, a very enjoyable read, and I will be sure to pick up the next in the series. less
