I was attracted to this book by its title, expecting a mystery/thriller revolving around books. While there is a bit of that, I found the characters to be poorly drawn and unbelievable, the dialogue to be unrealistic, the writing to be plodding and the plot to be far-fetched. In other words, I did not like this book. Since it was Pryor’s debut novel, I might take a chance on the second in the Hugo Marston series, but not for a while
