Somewhere amongst the shadowy stacks and the many basements of the British library, something is very much amiss - and we're not talking late returns here. Is it a ghost, or something much worse? PC Peter Grant really isn't looking forward to finding out....

Quick and Light - A true short story - One sitting from start to finish

4 stars

I do love a quick, compact short story, and this one fits that description. I also love libraries and movie references, so this story is a pretty big hit for me, and it is completely separated from the normal Rivers storyline, so only a vague understanding of any of the other books is necessary to enjoy this story.

I enjoyed it, but it was quite short. Enjoyed the library setting and the two old librarians giving each other grief, but the device turned out to be a magical Roomba. A little anticlimactic.
