The author Charlie Lovett is a former bookseller himself, and his love of books certainly shines through on every page.
The plot (told in alternating time periods) is interesting and I enjoyed the sections with Peter working in the restorations section of the library the most.
The Bookman's Tale is a cozy mystery that should whet the appetite of any bibliophile and whilst I did find it entertaining, I didn't fall head over heels reading it.
My rating = ***
Carpe Librum!
