Rare book dealer, ex-homicide cop, and private eye, Cliff Janeway is resourceful, impulsive, and hell-bent for danger. A unique character in crime fiction, Janeway is beloved by bibliophiles and mystery fans alike. In The Bookwoman's Last Fling, John Dunning puts Janeway back in the saddle, literally.

Tempted out of his bookstore into the world of horseracing, Janeway accepts an invitation from wealthy horse trainer H.R. Geiger to travel to Idaho and look at some rare first-edition books. The books are stunning, flawless children's classics that render the usually eloquent Janeway speechless. It's a collection worth millions of dollars, a fact that Janeway would be happy to discuss with Mr. Geiger if the man wasn't dead. Janeway becomes convinced that someone has been cherry-picking the book collection for personal profit. Soon he's off on Geiger's cold trail, to the California Races at Golden Gates Fields and Santa Anita Park.

Bringing together his inside knowledge of both books and horseracing, John Dunning provides another memorable, hard-boiled detective adventure, filled with all the authenticity and delicious trivia that fans have come to expect from the Bookman series.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Dunning's exceptional gifts at plotting and characterization should help win him many new readers, while the horse-racing angle is sure to lure Dick Francis fans." (Publishers Weekly)
"Bursting with inside dope about forged autographed copies and other dastardly examples of book fraud...it's great fun thumbing the pages with Janeway, who knows his business and takes a keen, almost sensual pleasure in a virgin edition." (The New York Times Book Review)

I was happy to see another book in John Dunning's "The Bookman" series. I wish there had been more about book collecting in this one but the subject was certainly a key factor in the plot. The ending was a little weak but overall it was an engrossing read.

Good read

A favorite character of mine. The mixture of books and mystery is fun. It feels like I am learning while I am reading a good story. Now add the track what an interesting life and set of jobs. in the middle of it all is Cliff and Erin trying to understand the human condition. A few well spent evenings on my part. Over too soon.

Gotta love Janeway

I love that there are these fun, laugh out loud, moments in all the Janeway books. I am also amazed at the new things I learn every time I read one. This was a great story line...more new facts about the book world, and everything I would want to know about horseracing stables. Just always fun tidbits . I also love George Guidall. Great narration every time.

Cliff Janeway always makes me smile...

I have been addicted to Craig Johnsons Longmire series for years now. Listening to George Guidall over and over and over again. My wife encouraged me to try something different for a change. I did a search for “similar to Longmire” and didn’t find anything that I liked. I thought let’s do a search on George Guidall and found this bookman series!! Loved it. George is amazing as usual and the writing is superb. Great characters and a very comfortable feeling that is also in Johnson’s work. 5 stars, highly recommend.

The Cliff Janeway series of Mr Dunning are true mysteries. You will learn the booktrade but that is just a taste of what is in this literate, exciting and endearing set of stories. Five stars dont cut it!

Unputdownable

Embarrassingly anachronistic dialogue. Unless I misheard, this was supposed to have taken place in the 2000's but it sounded like the Old Radio Theater of which Dunning is supposedly an aficionado. Not worth the 'sawbuck' I paid for it. I'd rather watch Rockford reruns for free.

The story was at times hard to follow. I am glad I listened to the book rather than read it. The narrator was excellent and he kept me interested in the book.

Unusual story line, great narrator
