"It was a great happiness for me to find this book @ ABS. Audio Book Store is a goldmine of finding ‘older’ audiobooks!I read this a long time ago as a library check out and always wanted to re-read it & own it. This is the second book of five featuring cop-turned-rare/antique-book-seller Cliff Janeway.(I already owned the first book of the series, “Booked to Die” and this is okay as a stand-alone but like many books in a series, there is more nuance to the story if you know the background.)Cliff is convinced to go to Seattle to help find a bail jumper who stole a rare edition of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven”. There are a lot of twists and turns throughout.This story is a great piece of crime-mystery-fiction and I couldn’t figure out the “who done it” until the end. (Well, I mostly never can figure out who the culprit is, but this one was a bit of a surprise.) George Guidall does a good job, I’ve long held him as a favorite narrator.This is an easy “read” and I’m so pleased to have found it and now have it. Audio Book Store downloads are so easy!"
