I found this little gem on the Library Journal website Falling into Bounty Fall & Winter First Novels. Listed under literary rather than mystery so it caught my eye.
The story is about Billy Webb a recent college grad who lands a job as lexicographer at the 100 year old Samuelson Dictionary Company. As he settles in at his new position, he meets another young lexicographer Mona Minot and together they stumble across a series of citations that references a book Broken Teaglass that does not exist.
Billy and Mona soon discover that the Broken Teaglas hidden in the citations and they set out to find it. As they continue their search for the missing parts of the story we also learn about Billy and Mona. Both have had something happen to them that has affected their perception of themselves and the world around them. It is these events that slowly come out as they delve into the Broken Teaglass mystery in the citations. So while they are busy searching for clues to the mystery they have found, we are also learning about these two young people and the mysteries they hold.
This novel just sneaks up on you, and soon you are pulled into its quite intrigue.
