After 55 pages I gave up on this book that, from the title, should have been a 5-star read for me.
The sudden switch of timelines was awkward, unnecessary, confusing and did nothing to advance the story line.
A priceless rare book has gone missing from the library. Lisel is a long time employee of the library and is acting head of a department when her boss is taken ill, but she is acting like a wet blanket and I found her too annoying to read any further.

I hope you enjoy your next read, Morgan! I liked this when I read it, but it hasn’t stuck with me.

Haven't we all known someone like that before.

Oh dear! This is on my pending ARCs list and I wish I could just chuck it out. Thanks for the warning, Morgan! Will push it further down the list and go in with zero expectations. :(
