Ian Sansom's The Case of the Missing Books: A Mobile Library Mystery
My mom--an avid mystery reader--suggested I read this, since the main character is a Jewish librarian. Hee. Anyway, this is the coziest of coziest mysteries, a slapstick fish-out-of-water comedy of errors, featuring Israel Armstong, a Londoner who comes to a small town in Ireland to be their librarian. He has several problems with his new situation, not least of which is that all the books are missing. Oh no! Apparently this is going to be the first book in a series, and there are plenty of characters and small-town intrigues for latter books. Anyway, it was really cute. A-.
