I agree with Kiwi about ending on an obvious note. Hound of the Baskervilles would be perfect… or The Case of the Missing Books. When I first heard about this project, I assumed it was a reference to Jurassic Park (to my immense shame) – so I’ll nominate “The Lost World” by Michael Crichton, purely because I want to make a nomination (got to make the most of visiting the password protected bit for the first time)!

if she would enjoy a bit of Irish humour with her mystery

The child is trying to get to the king and find his way home by looking in the king’s book of lost things.

(Anywhere but here I’d be calling him ‘the other David Mitchell’ – here, he’s just David Mitchell.)

Anyway, it’s the kind of terribly post-modern novel that a cool and happening chick like Aileen would read. It has lots of obscure in-jokes around people’s names, just like The Lost Book. And one of the characters is a feisty lass who’s an investigative journalist!
