The second in Con Lehane's 42nd Street Library mystery series, Murder in the Manuscript Room is a smart, compelling mystery in which the characters themselves are at least as interesting as the striking sleuthing.

"Not to be missed." --Megan Abbott

"A story utterly relevant to the real-life horror story unfolding in America's immigration politics."--Sara Paretsky

When a murder desecrates the somber, book-lined halls of New York City's iconic 42nd Street Library, Raymond Ambler, the library's curator of crime fiction, has a personal interest in solving the crime. His quest to solve the murder is complicated by personal entanglements involving his friend--or perhaps more-than-friend--Adele Morgan. Not only does Adele's relationship with the young woman staffer who was murdered get in the way of Ambler's investigation, more disturbing for him is Adele's growing interest in a darkly handsome Islamic scholar.

Soon the Intelligence Division of the New York Police Department takes over the case from NYPD homicide detective Mike Cosgrove, Ambler's friend and sometimes partner-in-crime solving. Ambler suspects that the murder of the young woman, who'd been working at the library under an assumed name and the curious intervention of NYPD's intelligence division are connected. The trail of intrigue leads to a seemingly unrelated murder in an upstate prison and a long ago murder of a trade union reformer.

No one else sees the connections Ambler is sure are there--not an unusual state of affairs for Ambler. But with the city's law enforcement establishment determined to stop his investigation, the inquisitive and intrepid librarian faces challenges that may put his very life at risk.

LOVE and the pattern is the cutest!
Color: Berry Happy Pink, Size: 50"x70", Color: Berry Happy Pink, Size: 50"x70"
Absolutely love! Super soft. Super warm. It’s not super heavy which I personally like. I like to just have my throws around my upper body so I don’t over heat. There was A LOT of shedding, not sure why, a lot of little fluffs came off but vacuumed that up and it’s fine now. Slept with it tonight and it’s perfect.

Soft blanket!
Color: Juicy Words Hot Pink, Size: 50"x70"
Such a pretty blanket and super soft! The packaging was also super pretty and the blanket looks super nice on top of my black comforter. It's not super thick but I didn't expect it to be since it's just a throw blanket.

Gorgeous!
Color: Crown Script, Size: 50"x70"
I absolutely love this blanket! It’s of a perfect thickness - not so thick that you get really hot but it’s not too thin either so it’s definitely not cheap looking. It’s just right. The color pink is perfect, too. It’s that beautiful, pale, pale pink that’s so soft and attractive looking. And it’s super, super cuddly soft! Perfect for snuggling up with. I love the design, too. It has black crowns everywhere, all over the blanket, and gray polkadots in the background and then “Juicy Couture” written in black cursive all over it as well. I actually bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas because she loves Juicy Couture. I just know she is going to adore this blanket. So happy with my purchase! Definitely worth the price.
