Summary: A workmanlike novel by an experienced mystery writer.
Comment: Truman, in her latest "Capital Crimes" novel, delves into the world of scholarly skullduggery and murder at the Library of Congress. As usual, Truman has researched the background of her plot with care. This mystery deals with a diary and a map that was purportedly written by a friend of Christopher Columbus. The diary and map could possibly shed some light on the accomplishments or perhaps the evil deeds of Christopher Columbus during his trips to the New World. Annabel Reed-Smith, a former lawyer who is also an art expert, happens to be doing research in the Hispanic section of the library when a murder occurs. Naturally, she becomes embroiled in the investigation of the murder. The writing style is breezy and casual and Truman works out the plot in a competent, albeit unexciting, fashion. She may not be flashy, but Truman writes light mysteries that are easy to take.

Summary: Fun Mystery
Comment: This was my first Margaret Truman mystery, and after reading many of the others, this one is still my favorite. A noted scholar and researcher is murdered at the Library of Congress. A part-time researcher, a famous reporter, and many others in the library solve bits and pieces of the murder. I found this book engrossing, and read the entire thing in one day.

Summary: Another fun mystery in the Capitol Series
Comment: This mystery once again has Annabelle Reed Smith and her husband Mac (he plays a very small part). This was a fun book because it takes us inside the Library of Congress and into the very expensive and illusory world of rare books. I have yet to read a book in this series that I have not liked. I find Margaret Truman to be a bit underrated and ignored in the mystery field. She puts me in mind of Agatha Christie as she also spins a good mystery without all the blood and gore.
