I love books, I love mysteries, and I loves books about books. So I jumped at the chance to read this one. This is the first book in the series that I have read, but I still found it easy to follow the action and get to know the characters. The Mormon angle of the story was very interesting. It seemed very believable that a small offshoot of the religion could follow those ideals. The resolution was satisfying, and left me feeling that I would enjoy the next book in the series.

This is number three of this series. I reviewed number 2 in May 2015. At the time I enjoyed that book's jauntiness and style. My main criticism was that the female characters were thin.

Mr. Shawver has done a good job with the women in this book, but the book itself did not please me very much. Maybe it's because I have a horror of burnt libraries (never could enjoy Gormenghast for just that reason) but more likely because it seems awfully stodgy. Everyone gets married and the supernatural is banished. Yawn.

I received a review copy of "The Widow's Son: A Rare Book Mystery" by Thomas Shawver (Random House – Alibi) through NetGalley.com.

This is the first book I have read by Mr. Shawyer. Although finding it a little slow, it did hold my interest to the end. The characters were well developed and the story line well written. I really liked the historical information.
I received this arc free from NetGalley for a honest review.
