Morgan 's Reviews> Murder at the Merton Library

2-1/2 / 5
Why the title of this book is “Murder at the Merton Library” is a mystery in itself since the murder at the Merton Library becomes secondary to the investigation into stolen plans for the latest in steam engine technology which frankly is discussed over much and didn’t interest me one bit. Scientific talk is expected as Wrex is a scientist but in this installment it takes over everything else.

Wrex is determined to solve the Merton Library murder mystery because the murdered man was a friend of his dead brother. For me this would have been an interesting plot by itself as it presents a very personal side of Wrex, something we have not had a lot of before.

I love the language which rings true for the era and the Weasels are always fun and I’m impressed that Charlotte has continued as A.J. Quill without being found out - other than that unless you are scientifically inclined much of this book will be porridge.

I have enjoyed this series up to this point, but this is the end for me.
