Some may find this tedious reading because of the plot which emphasizes cataloging books and fundraising details. There is not a lot of insight into the characters' motivations either, I think, and there seems to be too many weak red herrings as to who the killer is. I am not sure why early on people suspect just who the evil person is since there does not seem to be enough evidence for their choice. However, I have done cataloging and grant writing and appreciate the fine details of working in a library/collections building by the author. I like the protagonist but wish there was more detail about her life outside the job, or maybe the job is all she is. I am going to read more in this series.
