The Librarian
THE LIBRARIAN by Stewart Giles- Crime
There's a serial killer on the loose and DS’ Smith and Whitton recognise some of the scenes. They are copies of some of the cases they have investigated, some being rather too close to home for comfort. When a young woman is killed an elderly lady asks to see Smith. She has hyperthymesia- a special sort of memory- and instantly recognises this as a copy of an earlier murder just from the news reports. She used to be a librarian and her house is testament to this, containing a staggering number of books and a couple of hairy friends for company! Smith thinks she could be just the resource they are looking for.
I love Stewarts books and devour them only to be disappointed that I get to the end- I really don’t want them to finish despite wanting to know what happens- argh! There's a warmth of characters despite the situation they find themselves in. They come across as if they are neighbours and friends. That said I really wouldn't want to live too close to Jason Smith- there are far to many murders around! Lol! Emily, new to this book, is a real treasure. Always a very well thought out plot which has twists and turns which I love, and which throws the reader a curve ball or two along the way. A stunning, captivating read.

THE LIBRARIAN (Detective Jason Smith book 20)
From bestselling author: Stewart Giles comes another brilliant addition to the Detective Jason Smith series
The Librarian (Detective Jason Smith #20) by Stewart Giles
Detective Jason Smith has outwitted more murderers than he cares to admit. His insight into the criminal mind is unrivaled and he's made a career out of outsmarting the depraved and insane killers that have plagued the city of York.
But it appears someone has been doing some research on Smith's track record. Somebody knows more than they ought to, and when people are murdered in circumstances, far too familiar to be coincidence, Smith runs out of ideas.
The answers to his questions come from an unexpected source. An octogenarian former Librarian who claims to remember everything that has ever happened in her waking life, will prove to be an unusual ally in Smith's quest to bring down the most disturbing killer he's ever come across.
