This was my first experienced reading or listening to anything written by Bill Pronzini and I really enjoyed this detective/mystery story... I love mystery novels and bookstores, so a mystery read that takes place inside a bookstore for part of the story is good in my book! Add a well developed storyline, good dialogue and nice characters and you have a great read... Or in this case listen! I also thought that Nick Sullivan did a swell job of reading this story.
The following is a plot summary from Audible:
The Nameless Detective is called upon to find out how rare books and maps are being stolen from an antiquarian bookshop with a faultless alarm system. He goes undercover in the store, only to be foiled when a theft occurs right under his nose. Then, as he ponders the case (while on a date with the lovely Kerry), he’s violently struck from behind by a car that seems bent on driving him off the road. Will Nameless survive this attempt on his life and solve the case?
I'm giving The Booktaker: A Nameless Detective Mystery by Bill Pronzini a 7 star out of 10 star rating!
Until my next post, happy reading!!
