Entertaining detective stories, mostly about an ex-police detective turned librarian chasing down overdue books. Not great literature but lots of fun. ( ) Overall, this series has a clever premise: an experienced police detective has now left his job with "serious" crime investigation to serve as the person who hunts down people with overdue library books. However, his seemingly innocent job repeatedly leads him into serious crime situations which he solves by using his past police skills plus his understanding of how the library system works. Many of these stories are based on ingenious links between books and crime. Though most of the stories are enjoyable, there are a few weaknesses. There are two stories which are obviously variants on the same story (even the characters' names are the same) -- judging from the previous publication credits, apparently the author sold different drafts to two different magazines. Also, the last few stories drop the "library fuzz" detective and make the main detective a regular cop who had appeared as a secondary series character earlier. These stories switch from the urban setting of the earlier stories to a small town setting with no explanation -- there is no suggestion this cop might have transferred to a different town, for instance. To sum up, given the low price of the volume, I think it is worth buying as light entertainment. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
