The Librarian - Return to King Solomon's Mines

Editorial Review:

Product Description:
How on earth did nebbish university librarian David Goldberg end up on Virginia’s Ten Most Wanted Criminals list for bestiality? And how did he get ensnared in a vast right-wing conspiracy to steal the presidency? It all begins so innocently when Goldberg starts moonlighting for eccentric, conservative billionaire Alan Carston Stowe as an archivist. But Goldberg’s appointment worries a cabal of ruthless right-wingers—ostensibly allies of Stowe, whose money lubricates their zany scary conspiracies—with very close ties to the White House. They fear that Goldberg will find something in Stowe’s records that will compromise the dirty tricks involved in re-electing Augustus Winthrop Scott, the dim scion of a powerful Republican political family, for a second term. As the presidential election heads into its final stretch, the hunt is on to remove Goldberg from his position—by any means necessary. The acclaimed, Edgar-winning mystery writer Larry Beinhart returns with this timely novel. In the tradition of Carl Hiassen, Elmore Leonard, and Joe Klein, The Librarian is a frenetic, scary and hilarious thriller that goes deep into the dark heart of election year politics.

Customer Reviews

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Great fiction if you hate George Bush
If you are a Republican or a George Bush supporter, you won't like this book. This book outlines a right wing conspiracy to steal the presidency. It's well plotted and has enough of the ring of reality to make it scary. I also enjoyed the idea of a librarian as protagonist. I found the book very fast paced and enjoyable but also so disturbing at times that I had to put it aside for a bit before continuing. I definitely will read more by this author.

Rating:

- A waste of my time
This was a complete waste of my time and many trees, I regret to say. Clark Kent of librarians becomes a Superman? Um, unlikely. What a hack job. I won't read this author again. Ugh

Rating:

- The Librarian
As a Psychologist, I was enthralled. This book intertwines fact and fiction in an intriguing manner, never a dull moment.

Rating:

- The librarian : a novel
This book is perfused with the flavour of a librarian's world. Larry Beinhart manages to keep up the momentum of the chase until the end. A pretty good read.

Rating:

- Excellent!
An excellent read by an astute observer of current American politics. It thrills, but also riles as the deadly shenanigans of the current administration are brought to light.
