This was an interesting book, just not as engaging as I thought it would be. I put it down and finished another book before this one. In the beginning I thought I would be all about this book, it's about a librarian, a girl after my own heart and she works in the library of congress. I was like sign me up! 
 Overall it was a nice narrative. Interesting characters who each have their flaws to work through. Not to mention the mystery of the Culpepper and the consequences of not letting things go or taking things a bit to far. (view spoiler)[ I thought it was interesting that Anna realized how disrespectful and pigheaded she was being about pestering Luke for the information he had. She didn't need the info, she just really really wanted it. And she was placed in the same position she placed him in when Neville, wanted to know the truth about the missing boat. Honestly I think she got away with being selfish here, even if she did regret pressuring Luke into telling her what had happened. Although I admit, he totally could have handled that situation better. (hide spoiler)] 
 Anna was an okay character, i wasn't full invested in her, but I didn't hate her either, the same with Luke. (view spoiler)[ to be honest I was kind of more interested in Neville, and his romance with his landlady. (hide spoiler)] 
 In the end it was the mystery of the missing ship that kept me reading to the end of the book. 
 Recommended? Sure, I did like it overall
