Journal Entry 1 by Chrysalis441 from Bammental, Baden-Württemberg Germany on Samstag, 8. Mai 2010

The streets of San Francisco would be lined with hardcovers if rare book expert Brooklyn Wainwright had her way. And her mentor wouldn’t be lying in a pool of his own blood on the eve of a celebration for his latest book restoration.

With his final breath he leaves Brooklyn a cryptic message, and gives her a priceless—and supposedly cursed—copy of Goethe’s Faust for safekeeping.

Brooklyn suddenly finds herself accused of murder and theft, thanks to the humorless—but attractive—British security officer who finds her kneeling over the body. Now she has to read the clues left behind by her mentor if she is going to restore justice…

Actually I've already sent this book away as a RABCK but it sounded so interesting that I decided to get it again:-)

Well, to be honest: The book sounded way cooler than it actually was. But maybe that is just because I am not your typical crime reader?
Someone else might like it more...

Is on its way as a little surprise to other book shelves!

What a surprise to find this book from my wish-list in my mailbox this morning !Thank you. It really made my day. Thank you also for the labels, stickers and postcard. Wolves happen to be among my favourite animals.

It is not a milestone in modern literature, but then, a cozy is not supposed to be . It was entertaining enough. As I finished it while at the park, I left it on the shelf of the free library there. I hope it will find an interested reader, bookcrosser or not.
