"Murder at the 42nd Street Library opens with a murder in a second floor office of the iconic, beaux-arts flagship of the New York Public Library. Ray Ambler, the curator of the library's crime fiction collection, joins forces with NYPD homicide detective Mike Cosgrove in hopes of bringing a murderer to justice. In his search for the reasons behind the murder, Ambler uncovers hidden--and profoundly disturbing--relationships between visitors to the library. These include a celebrated mystery writer who has donated his papers to the library's crime fiction collection, that writer's missing daughter, a New York society woman with a hidden past, and one of Ambler's colleagues at the world-famous library. Those shocking revelations lead inexorably to the tragic and violent events that follow"--… (plus d'informations)

Did start this but didn't get into it. I picked it up because I thought I'd learn about New York's famous library, which I've visited every time I go to New York. It's a place with presence. Not sure if this book promised the same quality. (

Pretty good for a first mystery. I did find some coincidences a little hard to swallow (can't be more specific without spoiler). Interesting characters and interesting view of major research library.

Murder at the 42nd Street Library provided an intimate look at New York’s 42nd Street Library. Con Lehane provides a multitude of unique characters, but too many twists and turns with the cast. Everyone seem to be jumping into bed with everyone, ensuing a difficult menagerie. A many of the solutions to the issues involve a shot in the dark. Too many senseless deaths happen in the story. Of course, the main issue is child pornography and the consequences for the child. The main character, Raymond Ambler, falls into an unlikely romance, which may not last in this series. I am not enamored with this novel. (

The story opens with the intended murder victim being stalked by his murderer, to an office inside the library where he is killed.
Ray Ambler, a Librarian helps homicide detective Mike Cosgrove to eventually find the murderer.
I found the pace of the story slow and didn't really like any of the characters.

Ambler is a Librarian working in the Crime Fiction section of the Library. A man comes in to meet w/ the Library Director and is shot dead as he walks in the Director's office.

There is no end of suspects, everyone is intertwined with a famous crime novelist.... most all share a dirty secret. Who will be next to Be murdered?

What a bunch of disgusting & deplorable people, all who deserved to die.

Then there are the the relationships of the Librarian with these people, and twisted ending that comes out of nowhere...

Improbable, unbelievable & the poor writing. The author had too many inter-woven story lines and it all seemed a mess, with under-developed lukewarm characters. (
