"Bookish" says NYTimes review.Deceptive! Sleuth is a New York librarian, but the writing is plot-driven rather than literary. The 42d street Beaux Art Library is barely integrated into a plot about police high level corruption. Some familiarity with New York jargon and the author's first detective story will help because the characters are not introduced with much depth and background.
