My Darling Detective

DNF

My Darling Detective is an engaging tale in the style of the classic detective noir. It begins when Jacob Rigolet's mother turns up at an auction to deface a valuable photograph of soldiers in WWII. The incident opens up a cold case and new details about Jacob's past, eventually leading to a tense resolution. Throughout is a radio program that somewhat mirrors the lives of Jacob and his detective fiancee Martha. All in all it is an entertaining story, and librarians and library-lovers will enjoy how central the library is to the narrative.
