Crime in Process 2: Book, Line and Sinker

As a librarian, I am contractually obligated to read every book featuring a librarian. The Awful Library Books blog features some humdingers about lusty librarians.

So, imagine my surprise when I found a cozy mystery series featuring a competent librarian who also FIGHTS CRIME.

Book, Line and Sinker was released this December and is the third book in the Library Lover's Mystery series. Can't wait to start reading! And catalogue it. And shelf it. And check it out to people. And put it on a booklist. And collect circulation stats on it.

Crime in Progress 1: The Twelve Clues of Christmas

Crime in Progress will feature new and upcoming mysteries of note. 

Our first in the feature is the latest in Rhys Bowen's Royal Spyness Mystery series featuring the indomitable Lady Georgiana Rannoch. Despite being a few heartbeats away from inheriting the British throne, Georgiana doesn't have two pounds to rub together. Out but not down, she decides to become a maid for the families that she rubs shoulders with at fancy high society parties.

Domestic by day, she's a servant for king and country during the night. Her relative, the Queen, uses Lady Georgie's connections for a spot of high class spying and mystery solving.

I admire the self-control is takes to wear that backless a dress in that weather. 1930s radiators were more theoretical than practical

The Twelve Clues of Christmas is the sixth in the series and I wouldn't mind seeing it under my tree.
