People are dying to get their hands on a rare, valuable book in the newest Library Lover’s Mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of The Plot and the Pendulum.

Briar Creek Library director Lindsey Norris and her husband, Sully, are at a popular library conference in Chicago to hear book restoration specialist Brooklyn Wainwright give a keynote address. After the lecture, Lindsey looks under her seat and finds a tote bag containing a first edition of Patricia Highsmith’s Strangers on a Train, inscribed to Alfred Hitchcock. Brooklyn determines the novel is one of a kind and quite valuable, so Lindsey and Sully return the book to the conference director, not wanting to stir up any trouble.

But just hours after the pair boards the train back to Connecticut, rumors that the Highsmith novel has gone missing buzz amongst the passengers, and they soon find the conference director murdered in his private compartment. And worse—the murderer planted the book in Lindsey and Sully’s room next door, making them prime suspects. Now, they must uncover the murderer and bring them to the end of their line, before they find themselves booked for a crime they didn’t commit.

I had read some bad reviews of this book, but I thought it was great! I didn’t see why anyone would think Lindsay was wimpy in it. I felt her reactions were perfectly reasonable for the circumstances.

Very intense

Agree, did Ms. McKinlay write this? Some major plots/facts from previous books were completely wrong and/or left out. When Nancy bought her house, major character’s son not even mentioned when he very well should have been, etc. Plus, the narrator’s tone making Lindsey out to be a meek ditzy damsel, when with slight narration change she could be a strong leading female. Very disappointing!

Who Wrote This!?!

Lindsay is NOT a ditz. After a long wait for another book, this one is disappointing. Obvious from moment of kidnapping what the criminal wants. Panic is not where this character goes. Back and forth between inn and home just a time waster. Did Ms MacKinlay write this book?

The characters in this series have made questionable decisions in the past. This time it was beyond comprehension to not tell friend and police chief anything about ransom demand. Stupidest thing ever. I yelled at my phone

The stupidest decision making ever
