The Forgers
By Bradford Morrow
Book review by Susie Voth
“They never found his
hands.”
This is the gruesome first
sentence of this literary mys-
tery. Don’t let it put you off.
This book is a short 240-page
thrilling adventure into the
world of rare book collecting
and, of course, forgery.
Adam Diehl is a rare book
collector. He is bashed over
the head, his hands severed
from his arms, and left for
dead. His extensive collection
of rare books destroyed.
Meghan, Adam’s sister, is
devastated by the death of her
only living relative and leans
heavily on her boyfriend to
come to terms with the violent
murder and the fact that no
suspect was arrested for the
crime.
Will, Meghan’s boyfriend
and future husband, is the nar-
rator of the book. We know
that Will is a bit of an unsa-
vory character. He has a histo-
ry of forgery and he struggles
with his addiction to pen and
ink. Though there is no 12-
step program to help him quit.
He dearly loves Meghan and
swears off forgery — forever.
Ladies of Elks
I loved the way Morrow
described the relationship
between Will and his mother.
The tenderness and trust
between them as she taught
him calligraphy and to love
the act of writing. I also appre-
ciated
the
relationship
between Will and his lawyer
father who introduced his son
to the world of collecting rare
books.
“Book collecting,” he
(Will’s father) memorably told
me, though at the time I could-
n’t fully grasp his theory, “is
an act of faith…” I liked Will
but I did not completely trust
him, perhaps because he broke
faith with his father.
If you like a mystery and an
unreliable narrator then this
book is for you.
Lego Club

Free chronic disease self-
management workshop May 21
Introducing your brand-new local bank.
Let’s create tomorrow, together.
You can always ask if we
can order it on “interlibrary
loan.”
Interlibrary loan is a system
where we search for the mate-
rial at other libraries and
request to borrow it for you.
Books are usually the easiest
to borrow. Many libraries
have restrictions on lending
audiovisual materials such as
DVDs, videos and recorded
books, as well as special col-
lections such as genealogy or
local history, but it’s always
worth a try to see if we can
borrow it.
The next time you need
something just stop by the ref-
erence desk and we will see if
we can help you out.
