Book of Interest: The Woman in the Library

Over the weekend, I saw the movie Crime 101 and I really enjoyed it. It's a good movie and it had me realizing that I read a lot of mysteries but not a lot of thrillers. I have read very few thrillers, which is so surprising. A thriller that I found interesting is The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill. According to the description, one of them is a killer but which one is it. With how busy some libraries can be, I wonder how the murderer was able to pull this off. But hopefully by the end of story, they are found out. This just seems really interesting.


Book: The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill

Description:

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? pulling 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.
