Hesiona Celo Celo থেকে নিউ ইয়র্ক
You know what I have really missed in my life? A Librarian. Not a librarian, small l, but a Librarian - that mystical, magical woman who watches what you read, and what you check out again and again, and who one day says to you: "You know what? I think you'd like THIS." I like THIS. It's a mystery, set in medieval Cambridge; its heroine is a doctor, no, a coroner; there's a big mystery about murdered children (the Jews are being accused!), and also a charming (and unlikely) romance to add to the fun. It's not Literature, and doesn't pretend to be; but I LIKE IT. It's a lovely read, nicely done, and I look forward to other mysteries featuring Adelia and Rowley. (I'm hoping for some stuff about the Black Plague: I love the Plague! Of course, the time frame is a couple of hundred years too early; I must resign myself to disappointment. I have the feeling this author is too conscientious to go down Anachronism Avenue.)
