Do they do that? If so, I'll definitely request that they purchase the entire series. Sorry if it's a dumb question but I'm new to using public libraries and now I'm making up for it by using three of them, lol. One of them lists on my checkout "receipt" how much money I've saved by borrowing books instead of buying them, which is nice. :-)

If you're going to a physical library, just ask how you can recommend books for purchase. I'm sure they've got a process.

One tip...ALWAYS ask to be put on hold if they get the book in. Our librarians will not order the item if the patron making the suggestion does not want to read the copy. So even if I have a copy I will say I want it if they order it...you can always cancel the hold after.
Started this last night and it had me, again, right away!
Thanks for the tip, Kris. I'll definitely try it. I'm sure the series would be popular if it was on the shelf.Glad you're enjoying #6! :-)

Most welcome. I have become friends with some of the librarians so now I am getting to know some of the tricks ad tips.
Thank you
That’s the challenge confronting C.S. Harris’s aristocratic soldier-turned-sleuth Sebastian St. Cyr when his friend, surgeon and “anatomist” Paul Gibson, illegally buys the cadaver of a young man from London’s infamous body snatchers. A rising star at the Foreign Office, Mr. Alexander Ross was reported to have died of a weak heart. But when Gibson discovers a stiletto wound at the base of Ross’s skull, he can turn only to Sebastian for help in catching the killer.
Described by all who knew him as an amiable young man, Ross at first seems an unlikely candidate for murder. But as Sebastian’s search takes him from the Queen’s drawing rooms in St. James’s Palace to the embassies of Russia, the United States, and the Turkish Empire, he plunges into a dangerous shadow land of diplomatic maneuvering and international intrigue, where truth is an elusive commodity and nothing is as it seems.
Meanwhile, Sebastian must confront the turmoil of his personal life. Hero Jarvis, daughter of his powerful nemesis Lord Jarvis, finally agrees to become his wife. But as their wedding approaches, Sebastian can’t escape the growing realization that not only Lord Jarvis but Hero herself knows far more about the events surrounding Ross’s death than they would have him believe.
Then a second body is found, badly decomposed but bearing the same fatal stiletto wound. And Sebastian must race to unmask a ruthless killer who is now threatening the life of his reluctant bride and their unborn child.
