Murder in the Library, Part 2: J - Z - Britannica Blog

Murder in the Library, Part 2: J - Z - Britannica Blog

More books to put on my reading list.... books which feature murders in libraries. Here is an example:

Allen Kurzweil, The Grand Complication. New York: Hyperion, 2001. Bibliophile Henry James Jesson III hires New York Public Library reference librarian Alexander Short to identify the missing object in an 18th-century cabinet of curiosities. Involved in the intrigue is George Speaight, the curator of the erotica-oriented Center for Material Culture, whose nickname is the “Librarian of Sexual Congress.”
