The Silence of the Library by Miranda James

"I love Miranda James' books! The latest installment was no exception. I feel as though I am right there in Athena, Mississippi when I am reading the book. The characters are believable and complex and the storyline is entertaining"

"This is a cozy mystery in the truest sense of the word. There is very little action but lots of interesting characters and a neat little mystery. Add an entertaining Maine Coon cat and you’ve got a great book for relaxing on a rainy day. One of the reasons I like the ‘Cat in the Stacks’ mysteries so much is that the author manages to avoid all of my pet peeves: The main character doesn’t keep secrets from the police. Neither does he resort to illegal means (like breaking and entering) in order to dig up information on his suspects. It’s always refreshing to have a main character who isn’t stupid. Identify the killer and go off to confront him/her without telling anyone about it? Not Mr. Charlie Harris, librarian. You don’t need to read the previous books in the series to understand this one. However, I’d still recommend doing so, because they add a lot of background to many of the characters...."

이야기 자체는 신선하진 않지만 작품의 구성은 재밌다. 이야기 속에 또 다른 이야기 그리고 복선과 힌트, 책과 관련된 흥미로운 이야기, 실제로 존재하는 작품과 가상의 작품을 절묘하게 다루는 작가의 글 솜씨 등은 이 책을 읽는 즐거움이다. 특히, 이 작품 속에서 언급되고 있는 Nancy Drew라는 시리즈는 이 작품을 읽은 독자들은 한 번쯤 읽어 보고 싶은 충동을 갖게 할 것이다. 조만간에 "Secrets can kill"이라는 Nancy Drew 시리즈 작품을 읽어 볼까 생각 중이다. 핵심어는 collection, fake identification, signature, stupid performance, new starting 등이다. 표현이나 문장 구조 등은 무난하다.
