Quite possibly one of the best novels set in a museum I've ever read.

Full of twists and turns, I hate to give much away. The New York Public Library is the center of the story, along with some greedy trustees who collect rare books and maps, some conservators with fancy tools, and some nerdy curators eager to help. So, so much better than I expected. I will admit that this is one of those mysteries in which I might have found myself talking to the book.

Also must give props that this is the 11th book in the series--haven't read any of the others--and yet, I got in step with the characters without feeling like the author spent a lot of time catching people up.
