Josephine Carr, author of My Very Own Murder and The Dewey Decimal System

From RT Book:

Carr’s employment of a 40-year-old librarian for her protagonist is the perfect rejoinder to those who believe that all novels with romance must revolve around a beauteous 20-something femme fatale. Philadelphia reference librarian Alison Sheffield becomes enamored with the new conductor of the philharmonic, Aleksi Kullio. She volunteers in the Philharmonic’s archives, where she makes the acquaintance of the married Aleksi and begins exchanging e-mails with him. Amid Ally’s attempt to come out of her staid, celibate librarian’s shell are some very comical moments, from stink bombs in the library to clothes-shopping with Ed, the library’s resident homeless man. And when Ally and friend Suzanne become convinced that Aleksi’s wife Michelle’s research to write a mystery novel is merely a ruse to murder the handsome conductor, they start following the beautiful blonde -- with somewhat surprising results. Josephine Carr’s touching humor-laden tale of one woman’s search for the perfect man brings a breath of fresh air to the women’s fiction genre. Lighthearted and entertaining, this is perfect escapist fare for librarians and non-librarians alike.
