Part of a series of longish short stories which center on marvelous books, which is a great idea. (Thank you to the publisher, from whom, via Netgalley, I received this for an honest review.) This was nicely done: a twisty story of suspense – especially if you’re of the target audience, a capital-B Booklover whose heart hurts at the idea of the destruction of a rare and wonderful book. It felt like it should have Alfred Hitchcock coming out to say "Good evening" and do a clever intro. Very nice indeed. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Professor Dominic Halkyn gets a strange phone call from someone claiming to have a very very special medieval book in his possession. To prevent the caller from destroying this book Dominic will have to meet his demands.
For once, although this is only my third Bibliomysteries-series books, I felt there really was a mystery to solve, which made for a nice change. I also quite liked that there was more than just the story, it also deals with some other questions, that I won't discuss now out of fear for spoiling. At the end there is an - although not that original - interesting twist. It's just that these books are so short, this one in particular I think would have worked great in a longer story.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! ( )
