Author Ian Sansom βclearly loves a good laughβ (Washington Post), as his delightful mystery series featuring rumpled, fish-out-of-water, Jewish vegetarian librarian Israel Armstrong indisputably proves. The Bad Book Affair is Israelβs fourth hilarious adventure as he tools around Ireland in a rattletrap bookmobile trying to solve the mystery of a missing teenage girl while trying to keep his mess of a personal life in order. Sansomβs Mobile Library Mystery series has made a big splash with critics on both sides of βthe Pond.β The New York Times Book Review loves their βformidable reserves of insight and humor,β while the London Times calls Israel βone of the most original and exciting amateur sleuths around.β
