Oh, the Library!

David Liss is one of my favorite writers. He writes historical fiction for the most part and is able to relate what happens way back when to things that are happening today. The latest book I read by him is THE ETHICAL ASSASSIN. This is not historical, but is a mystery. It's in the present day in Florida where a 17 yr. old young man is trying to raise money to go to college by selling encyclopedias! Do they still do that? Well, they do in this book. He becomes involved in a murder unwittingly and is taken under the wing of the assassin. The story is the tale of his trying to come to terms with his association with the murderer and selling encyclopedias to people who don't really need them.
