The Woman in the Library : A Novel by Sulari Gentill

 

 The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill. Poisoned Pen Press, 2022. Adult mystery.

The delicious premise for this book is that four people share space in the reading room of the Boston Public Library when a scream is heard. One of the four is a murderer. 

The book is twisty with the four becoming friends and trying to solve the library murder and others. Who is not telling the truth or twisting the truth for their own benefit? Two are writers and while books and writing are central to the story, the novel is not about either. The book begins with a letter and main chapters are concluded with letters to Hannah from Leo and readers find out more about both of them. Boston is almost a character itself with places described and used as settings. Romance, intrigue, murder most foul, and you will probably NOT guess the ending!
