Wait! "Murder by Dewey Decimal" is an actual title? That's my fake title, except I think it was more like "Murder by the Dewey Decimal System."
Actually, it was The Dewey Decimal Death System.
Well, Sigvarðr is an actual Norse name, a variant of Sigiwart, meaning victory-guardian.
Myst isn't a Norse name or word. Neither is Mysta. The Norse word for 'mist' or 'cloud' is Mist, if that's what the author is going for.
The closest otherwise that I could find is Myskia, which means 'bat'.
Not that most readers of urban fantasy will care, any more than most romance readers mind Saxon heroines named Heather or Jasmine instead of Walburga.
That was the only book of the lot I'd actually heard of.
Oh.
So, wait. The real title is "Murder by Dewey Decimal" and I coincidentally hit on some key words?
