Mr. Dixon Disappears - Ian Sansom

Detective silly Realism.

Part of the Mobile library mystery series. My first read and I'm guessing this is the 2'nd book. Its not exactly a murder mystery detective series. There is murder, there is mystery but the detection is non existent. The hero - a bumbling english librarian called Isreal runs a mobile library in Ireland. He lives in a chicken coop and has 'romantic' problems.  He stumbles into the suspect list then stumbles around and finally get the mystery solved and a 100,00 pounds. With a lot of help from Ted, some sort of assistant/driver.  Very urban in a rural background story. Refreshing.

6/10
