Book #9- The Case of the Missing Books by Ian Sansom


Wannabe Librarian, Israel Armstrong takes a job in a rural county of Ireland. Upon arriving, he realizes that the library he was supposed to be work at has been closed. Furthermore he is going to be in charge of a Mobile Library for which he does not feel qualified. After inspecting the old library, he realizes that it is missing books- about 15,000. The book includes a wide cast of characters including Israel himself. Using his sleuthing skills, he must uncover who stole the 15,000 missing books.

Things I liked about this book:
  • It dealt with books. I like to read books that deal with books.

Things I didn't like about this book:
  • I thought Israel was a bumbling idiot.
  • He was a very wishy washy character who got beat up on a couple of occasions.
  • Israel thought he was extremely intelligent; which he was not.
