Murder in the Manuscript Room - Con Lehane
Publication Date: Nov. 21, 2017
She read
An employee of the New York City’s library is found murdered
It seems she is not the person she presented herself to be. Solving the case involves Raymond Ambler, the crime fiction curator at the library, a cast of his friends, family, and acquaintances, as well as the Intelligence Division of the NYPD, the investigation of the murder years ago of a trade union reformer, and perhaps some terrorists.
Despite all these characters, the story hangs together and the characters well developed. This is the second book in a series. Initially, some of the background was a little unclear. I do think reading the first book, though, would have helped in understanding the history of Ambler and his family.
It was a decent story that held my attention throughout.
