Does anyone know if the "Mobile Library Mystery" series by Ian Sansom - The Case of the Missing Books, Mr. Dixon Disappears, The Book Stops Here, and the newest installment, The Bad Book Affair - have significant or any Jewish content? The main character, Israel Armstrong, is described in the descriptions as Jewish and from the review in Booklist (11/15/09), the fourth book may have Jewish content. Since it doesn't make sense to only purchase the fourth book, I'm wondering if the entire series is a worthwhile addition for a synagogue library. Our patrons are always looking for "lighter" reads. If anyone has firsthand experience with these books, I'd appreciate your insight.
Thanks!
