Dunning wastes no time in weighing in on the ongoing debate of "popular" fiction (Stephen King novels) versus the works of writers like Faulkner and Hemingway. Which would you rather have, a good book or a tender steak? I know what I'd take, seven days a week." I do not know one book lover who would disagree with that statement. I get sick of hearing how expensive books are. Ruby, a store-owner says: "A book has always cost about what a meal in a good restaurant costs. McKinley, whom Janeway has the hots for, remarks that when you buy "something unique, and pay twice what it's worth, it's a great bargain." And one of my favorite passages is about the worth of a good book. Although they are treated to a first class mystery, just as important is page after page of valuable information about collecting first editions.
The murders here all have to do with people in the book collecting business so booklovers get a double treat here. Cliff Janeway starts out as a Denver cop who loves books and winds up in this page-turner as an owner of a rare bookstore who doesn't forget his policing skills.
