The High Tide Club

I started this book for a light, engaging listen and was prepared to forgive the odd gaps in logic, racism, characters that only become less believable, and icky May-December romance. I cannot, however, forgive Andrews for her characterization of the librarian in this book. Librarians are bound by a code of ethics, which includes strict privacy rules. For a librarian to share a patron's reading history, search interests, behavior, and even presence in the library in a gossipy aside with a friend is appalling and insulting. Librarians cannot even share that kind of information with law enforcement without a warrant. Grrrrr.
