Q. What are your favorite books about museums, written for adults?
A. Jane Langton, who also writes for children, wrote a series of very entertaining mysteries set in and around museums: Emily Dickinson is Dead (the Emily Dickinson House Museum in Amherst, MA); Dead as a Dodo (Oxford University Museum); and Murder at the Gardner (the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston). Here’s a listing of all of Ms. Gardner’s Homer Kelly mysteries.
