5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully fresh. Thoroughly enjoyable., Oct 30 2002
By MLPlayfair (Ravenna, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miss Zukas and the Library Murders (Mass Market Paperback)
MISS ZUKAS AND THE LIBRARY MURDERS is the first in a series of mysteries featuring a librarian in the coastal area of Bellehaven, Washington. This book is copyrighted 1994, and the author has added about a book a year since then. A fun and fast-paced thriller with wonderful, fresh, multi-dimensional characters and delightful plot twists. Reads very quickly, making you want more! I just love Miss Zukas (her way of swearing is "Oh, Faulkner!"). This is going to be an enjoyable series! Fun, fun, fun!

4.0 out of 5 stars Librarian/sleuth Miss Zukas, Mar 20 2002
By Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Miss Zukas and the Library Murders (Mass Market Paperback)
Miss Zukas, intrepid librarian, is shocked and surprised to see police cars around Bellihaven's Public Library, her place of employment. A dead body has been discovered in the Mo-Ne aisle and no one knows who or why. The body is identified, but no motive can be established. Miss Zukas is an observant person, so she puts this ability to work and begins her own amateur investigation with her friend, Ruth. Jo Dereske weaves a gently amusing plot with interesting characters to create a "cozy" in a library setting. Mystery fans will enjoy this book.

This review is from: Miss Zukas and the Library Murders (Mass Market Paperback)
I found myself continually frustrated with the stupid actions of Miss Zukas, constantly putting herself in harm's way.

2.0 out of 5 stars The storyline drags on without end.
The plot sort of tumbles out of the story rather than unfolds. Ms. Zukas is the sterotype of what people perceive librarians to be, she also seems to have some... Read more
