[Mobile Library Mystery 04] • The Bad Book Affair · A Mobile Library Mystery

“[Israel’s] fish-out-of-water dilemmas and encounters with kooky locals will resonate with Alexander McCall Smith fans.” — *Publishers Weekly*

Author Ian Sansom “clearly loves a good laugh” ( *Washington Post* ), as his delightful mystery series featuring rumpled, fish-out-of-water, Jewish vegetarian librarian Israel Armstrong indisputably proves. *The Bad Book Affair* is Israel’s fourth hilarious adventure as he tools around Ireland in a rattletrap bookmobile trying to solve the mystery of a missing teenage girl while trying to keep his mess of a personal life in order. Sansom’s Mobile Library Mystery series has made a big splash with critics on both sides of “the Pond.” The *New York Times Book Review* loves their “formidable reserves of insight and humor,” **while the* London Times* calls Israel “one of the most original and exciting amateur sleuths around.”
