Re: Librarians as main characters in Fiction

[Jan Helene Moore <janmoore@TENET.EDU>]

I favor adult mysteries when I read for pleasure. The Jacqueline Kerby
series by Elizabeth Peters features academic librarian/sleuth/romance
writer, Ms. Kerby, up to her attractive elbows in crime. The exact titles
escape me at the moment but there are at least three of them, all
entertaining.
One I just read this holiday is _Do Unto Others_ (sequel _The Only Good
Yankee_) by Jeff Abbot is also a murder mystery about a man without a
library degree (he's a book editor) who is forced by circumstances to
take over the librarian's post in his small town in Texas.
