If you like mysteries and libraries, Linda Fairstein’s Lethal Legacy will give you entertainment and information. There may be moments of wondering exactly where Fairstein is going with the characters’ actions, dialogue and their importance or the author’s purpose and connections. Whether or not you agree with the how the author “maps” her writing, the book is still a good read that may have you looking at libraries and their collections with new eyes. You’ll come away from this reading with more than a little history about public libraries and the philanthropists who contributed to them, especially the New York Public Library. Fairstein provides her novel’s Assistant District Attorney Alex Cooper with an abundance of villains and stalwart companions. Appropriate for adults, Lethal Legacy will be fun for those who are curious about what goes on behind the stacks!
