" A Real Gem"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I read this book of Bartholomew Gill's without making reference to the reviews on this page. I am glad I did. Unlike the one review to be found here, I found this book to be great fun. What I find to be the strongest feature of Gill's writing is the way he presents his regular cast of characters. I really care about all of them a great deal. So while the mystery is fun, what really matters is to watch these characters in their interplay with each other and with the possible killers. The deceased deserved his untimely death and it does not really matter so much how he died. I was glad to see him gone. But the solving of the mystery and how that solution impacts of Peter McGarr and his co-workers is great fun. I have come late to the works of Bartholomew Gill and am going through them one at a time. "Death of a Joyce Scholar" is the one that I recommend to people the most so far, but "Ardent Bibiophile" will now be on this list. If you like Gill, this one will definitely not disappoint.
