Murder at the 42nd Street Library: A Mystery by Con Lehane
3.0
*Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in return for an honest review*
I was hoping for a great murder mystery puzzle and that is exactly what I got. I loved the idea of the librarian trying to solve murders. I can totally see me doing that when it is not hitting to close to home.
All the characters involved in the story did get me confused a bit. Especially Donnely and Dolloway who were two very different people. The puzzling along worked very well and it was great that there were multiple possibilities till the end.
Ray and Adele were are nice together and I liked Cosgrove and McNalty too. I would have loved to have more information for the last one. This is for most characters. The story does not really set personalities for the characters. The tougher subjects discussed in the book are not really worked out either. The story never really touched me but I was not disturbed because I wanted a light entertaining read.
