5.27.2022 - The Woman in the Library

The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill

Many thanks to NetGalley, Poisoned Pen Press and Dreamscape Media for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of this wonderful book by Sulari Gentill - 4.5 stars!

Freddie hails from Australia and is in Boston after winning a writing scholarship to continue work on her book.  She has a random meeting with 3 other people at a table in the Boston Public Library when they hear a scream and soon learn a woman has died.  The four soon develop a close relationship, not really knowing all they should about each other and if they too are unsafe.  

This book was such fun - a whodunit story with beginnings in a library, authors writing and critiquing their work, a story in a story setting.  Add in differences between American and Australian culture, the pandemic, and racial issues and it gets better and better!  This is my first book by this author but I'll definitely come back for more!

Narrated by Katherine Littrell, who did a great job with all the voices.  I started reading the digital copy and switched to the audio, but I think the digital would probably be easier to follow due to different typesets of the correspondence - or maybe that's just me!
