wolson's review against another edition
3.0
Let’s say 3.5 stars. It’s not quite like some of the better noir detective short stories, but they were rather pleasant diversions. I mean who thinks of stories about a library “cop” who chases down overdue books and associated fines, yet stumbles upon murders and mayhem along the way? James Holding apparently. They were written for mystery magazines each story at least a year apart from the next, so reading consecutively there’s some redundancy in information about characters and such, but for me, this didn’t distract.
