I'm giving 5 stars to Linda Fairstein's "The Bone Vault." Written by a former Manhattan prosecutor, this thriller revolves around a joint exhibition by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History, and provides lots of lovely scenes set in curatorial meetings, storerooms, and exhibition galleries. It's a really good read, although the scene when the investigator is shut into a basement storeroom in the Natural History Museum and accidentally knocks over a specimen jar...that knocks over another specimen jar...and on and on until the entire shelf is broken, is cringe-inducing.
