James Delacorte is an aging, eccentric millionaire, who frequents the library where Charlie volunteers. He asks for a private meeting, and lets Charlie know that he had a collection of rare books he would like catalogued. In fact, he suspects someone is stealing from the collection. Within hours of beginning the inventory, however, Mr Delacorte is dead, and someone in the household must have done it.
I like Charlie and we learn more about his background in this installment. His son, Sean, arrives unannounced, but makes himself quite useful in the investigation. And, of course, Diesel is always present.
The mystery is satisfyingly concluded, though I guessed the culprit fairly early. Still, I enjoyed watching the characters figure it out. And, I love all the literary references. ( )
