Thank you Poisoned Pen Press for the gifted book I got through Sourcebooks Early Reads.

Whomp whomp. What a nothing burger of a book. Liesl is left in charge of the department of rare books and special collections when her boss has a stroke and soon discovers the most prized piece of work in the collection is missing! And that's where the intrigue stopped for me. I guessed the culprit very early on and found Liesl and her colleagues to be highly unlikable. This book is more of a character study of workplace relationships than the mystery it was billed as. Did not live up to my expectations. But it has ended up on some lauded lists so I probably am in the minority here. Conclusion: if you like character driven books it might be for you, if you like plot driven books, steer clear!
