Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for gifting me a digital ARC of this short thriller by Laura Sims - 5 stars!
Margo has been working in a small public library for two years. No one knows that in the past she was a nurse, accused of causing patient deaths, moved, and changed her name. She's happy now in the library until Patricia, a young woman hired to be the research librarian, shows up. Patricia is escaping her own past - a failed novelist and a not-so-happy relationship back in Chicago. When a library patron dies and Patricia sees something wrong, she begins investigating Margo and using her story to fuel her writing.
Told from the dual perspectives of Margo and Patricia, we get to learn of both women's inner thoughts and actions, as well as their interactions as they dance around each other. I love when a book shows us the same scene from different views. As a book lover, all the inner happenings in the library and book references just added to the enjoyment. This was a twisty, fun book that I read in one sitting.
