I just finished my first book for 2010 and realised I didn’t post my read book of 2009. Although I didn’t read that much, I picked good ones. Not all, of course, that would be inhuman but still….I did good overall.

Israel is fed up with being the mobile librarian for the Tumdrum district. He and his work aren’t respected and taken seriously. He is going to resign, and not like the countless previous times, but this time for real. He is going to announce it during the meeting and that’s that. Or so he thought…
During the meeting there is mention of a happening for mobile libraries that is going to take place in London. And where would Israel rather be than in London! So the resignation has to wait a little while longer and he and Ted should get on their way to the mainland…that is, if Israel gets Ted to come with him; not an easy task. When finally Israel and Ted, after a lot of bickering and driving, arrive in London at Israel’s mother’s house, disaster strikes (again). The Mobile Library, Ted’s pride and joy, is stolen and I can say one thing: Ted is not amused!

Israel Armstrong, the reluctant librarian in Northern Ireland is back for a new adventure. We have met Israel in the case of the missing books, but now the books are all save and sound in the van aka the mobile library. What (or better who) is missing this time is Mr Dixon, an influential department store owner. He vanishes right under Israel’s nose and when Israel is found at the ‘crime scene’ he is even arrested as a suspect of harming and kidnapping Mr Dixon. This unjust treatment to make him the obvious culprit makes Israel more determent to catch the real offender. Well….determent….Israel has to find him really, otherwise he himself will end up in the jail cell again. So, another job for our ‘hero’.
