This is my favorite of the Bookman series. It's #5 in the series, but is quite unlike the earlier books, & not at all dependent on them. Duplicate book.

Reserved for bookstogive's Mystery / Thriller VBB.

Well, nobody picked him, so I'm sending him to a friend for a Christmas/Get Well Soon/Happy Moving RABCK. :-D

Released to Dove-i-libri in Florida as a multi-purpose RABCK. ;-> Happy travels, little book!

Holy Cow! this looks interesting! I haven't read any of this series, yet, but I'm looking forward to it! Thank you so much for thinking of me, IwillRejoice! Hope to meet up with you and BookLady331 one day soon, it will be fun!

June 5, 2018: Will use this book as part of my "2018 Reduce Mount TBR Challenge" (Link), and then share it as part of Booklady331's "2018 Keep Them Moving Challenge" (Link).

Sent to Tobysrus for release in her OBCZ at Boston Youth Hostel OBCZ (Boston Hostelling International).

☺ Happy Traveling, Book! ☺

This book was among the generous boxes-o-books that BCer tobysrus brought me on this very hot day, as part of her downsizing/decluttering efforts. (Wave to the previous journalers!) I've enjoyed some of Dunning's other "Bookman" novels; will see how I like this one.

Later: Not as much fun as the previous books, IMO, in part because of the shift in focus from books to racehorses. Not that I don't like reading about horses, but the racing industry can be brutal... Anyway, the crime itself leads to mania and book-hoarding and forgery and murder - but I found it all rather heavy-handed and depressing rather than suspenseful. Ah, well!

I left this book in the Little Free Library near the playground in the park; hope someone enjoys it!
