Let me start by saying I love
bookmobiles and therefore libraries and librarians. I especially love mysteries
with humor involving bookmobiles, and have not found many. So, when I heard
about Murdermobile, I quickly bought
a copy.
As a writer and student of fiction, I
was disappointed in the way the story was presented. I was taught to use only
one character point of view in a scene and to let the reader know when the point
of view character changes. In Murdermobile,
the point of view bounces from one character to another as easily as starting a
new paragraph.
If that doesn't bother you, you'll
find the story itself, as well as the characters and settings quite enjoyable.
The authors definitely know bookmobiles, and their characters come across as
real and interesting.
When I encounter a book with the point
of view switching like this one, I hardly ever finish it. The only reason I
continued to read this one to the end was because of the bookmobile angle. I'm
glad I did.
