An Honest Living by Dwyer Murphy

3.0

I enjoyed this novel about a slightly sketchy lawyer involved in crimes connected with the world of rare-book collectors in New York. It's very literary, as befits a book about books.

Many of the characters will stay in my memory, and the plot is clever.

The end of the novel, though, felt abrupt to me; possibly I was drifting for a second as I listened to the audio, but when I listened to the last lines again, I still felt that the book does not have a proper sign-off.
