The Woman in the Library [B0592]

2022 PB. "Investigations are launched, fingers are pointed, potentially dangerous liaisons unfold and I was turning those pages like there was cake at the finish line."-Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times. Ned Kelly, award winning author Sulari Gentill, sets this mystery-within-a-mystery in motion with a deceptively simple, 'Dear Hannah, What are you writing?' and pulls us into the ornate reading room at the Boston Public Library.

In every person's story, there is something to hide...

The tranquility is shattered by a woman's terrified scream. Security guards take charge immediately, instructing everyone inside to stay put until the threat is identified and contained. While they wait for the all-clear, four strangers, who'd happened to sit at the same table, pass the time in conversation and friendships are struck. Each has his or her own reasons for being in the reading room that morning-it just happens that one is a murderer.

Sulari Gentill delivers a sharply thrilling read with The Woman in the Library, an unexpectedly twisty literary adventure that examines the complicated nature of friendship and shows us that words can be the most treacherous weapons of all.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "This one is just a fun, brain candy mystery. Not deep or anything, but I loved it!"; "Wow. I really enjoyed the writing style. Having a story within a story kept me on my toes, as it was two mysteries occurring in sync. At first, I thought this would be a simple whodunnit and that it would feel like every other mystery novel out there. It surprised me. The author really fleshed out all of the characters and gave all of them motive. I thoroughly enjoyed the twist ending and would definitely recommend this book to mystery lovers."; "I really enjoyed this, even when it got to be a bit much. I just wanted one more chapter as a wrap up!"; "There was a secondary story going on the entire time that would pull you out of the story at the close of each chapter, and I found that distracting at first, but interesting by the end."; "This book was so fun! I loved how the author wove all the threads."
