This was read for my book club. It was a quick and amusing ready; not particularly deep or thought-provoking. The plot revolves around a family who lives in the Fifth Avenue branch of the NY Public Library. That was an awesome idea, but I wish we had learned more about the building than about the plot to steal books and sell on the black market. Some of this was very predictable and some was a bit far-fetched. What the book did yield for us, the members of the book club, were some tasty NYC treats! Roasted chestnuts, pretzels with honey-mustard, Manhattan Clam Chowder, Waldorf Salad, Lox and Bagels and of course, something made with apples!
Not sure I will venture further into Fiona Davis books. Now I have read one!
