MURDER IN THE MANUSCRIPT ROOM 42nd Street Library, Book 2

Narrator John McLain delivers intrigue that involves the New York City Library system and police department. Soon after new librarian Leila Stone starts asking questions about Islamic scholar Gobi Tabrizi, Leila's body is found in the office of Raymond Ambler, a librarian who is an amateur detective. As corrupt cops emerge, McLain creates the ideal voices to give a noir touch to a plot involving seemingly unrelated deaths. Through deft pacing, McLain gives this audiobook strong expression and heightens the dramatic tension. He takes the listener back to the 1980s with the murder of a union leader, an act that reaches into the present. McLain's excellent performance makes this audiobook exciting to listen to.
