Linda Fairstein's latest, "Lethal Legacy", was a fantastic mystery involving libraries and rare books. She even dedicated it to librarians (thanks, Linda!). I really love her books. Alex Cooper, one of her main characters, is so cool. This one involved a wealthy family, the Hunts, who are chasing all over for pieces of a one of a kind map that's been hidden in various rare books. People are getting killed over this map. Alex manages to catch the killer and find the pieces of the map with the help of some wise librarians. Just like in real life :-)
"Havana Nocturne" by T.J. English chronicled the story of how the Mob controlled Havana because the corrupt government that Batista was in charge of let them. It was interesting, just not as interesting as I'd hoped. I guess I really wanted to know more about Fidel Castro and the rebels and how they ran Batista out of Cuba. This was all pretty much stuff I already knew or could have guessed.
