The Delegatesâ Choice (The Mobile Library)

'This is Israel's third outing and it is a pleasure to welcome him back – these are blissful British comedies for the thinking escapist.' The Times

Praise for ‘The Case of the Missing Books’:

‘A mystery, a sustained piece of slapstick, a meditation and a yarn. And it is cripplingly funny.’ Independent

‘Sansom has struck a rich comic seam...it promises to be a very enjoyable series.’ Observer

‘A perfect antidote for melancholy.’ Guardian

Praise for ‘Mr Dixon Disappears’:

'Israel is one of the most original and amusing amateur sleuths around.’ The Times

'Bibliophiles will instinctively warm to Israel Armstrong, Jewish librarian, duffel-coat wearer and part-time detective. The fact that he drives his mobile library around the coast of Northern Ireland, moaning non-stop about people who do not return books on time, only makes the character more deliciously esoteric. This yarn about an ageing magician who has gone missing with £100,000 is the second in what promises to be a must-read series.' Sunday Telegraph
