Biblio-Babble


I'm not crazy about Linda Fairstein, author of many mysteries. I have trouble following where she's going with her characters' actions, dialogue and their importance, and sometimes even her purpose. But, if you like mysteries and libraries (as I do!), Fairstein’s Lethal Legacy (FAIRSTE)will give you entertainment and information. Whether or not you agree with me on how the author “maps” her writing, the book is still a good read that may have you looking at libraries and their collections with new eyes. You’ll come away from this reading with more than a little history about public libraries and the philanthropists who contributed to them, especially the New York Public Library. Fairstein provides her novel’s main character, Assistant District Attorney Alex Cooper, with an abundance of villains and tenacious companions. Appropriate for adults, Lethal Legacy will be fun for those who are curious about what goes on behind the stacks!

Thanks for giving me a second chance, Anni. I love libraries and librarians - that's where my love for reading began. All the best, Linda Fairstein
