This one was recommended to me by a friend who knew one of my dreams was owning a bookstore. And what reader doesn't have that dream, huh? Of course, reality steps in. Running a bookstore is work! Dunning has melded his bookstore experience with a well-crafted police procedural / citizen detective novel and added a touch of the noir. It's been a while since I skipped going to bed just because I couldn't put down a book, but Dunning had me from the first page. Who knew there was so much going on in the book business? Another series I'll keep an eye on.
