Hannah Tigone, bestselling Australian crime author, is crafting a new novel that begins in the Boston Public Library: four strangers; Winifred, Cain, Marigold and Whit are sitting at the same table when a bloodcurdling scream breaks the silence. A woman has been murdered. They are all suspects, and, as it turns out, each character has their own secrets and motivations – and one of them is a murderer.
While crafting this new thriller, Hannah shares each chapter with her biggest fan and aspirational novelist, Leo. But Leo seems to know a lot about violence, motive, and how exactly to kill someone. Perhaps he is not all that he seems...
The Woman in the Library is an unexpectedly twisty literary adventure that examines the complicated nature of friendship – and shows that words can be the most treacherous weapons of all.
The Woman in the Library is a wonderful novel that is compelling and sharp and it is unique and extremely clever. * TheLastWordBookReview.com *
Clever, compelling, and laced with juicy clues, Sulari Gentill’s The Woman in the Library is an elegantly written work of murder mystery magnificence - an addictive game of Cluedo that pivots from death in a library, to dark secrets from the past. * Joanne Owen, Love Reading *
The whole thing is a superb crime novel, but also a masterclass in experimenting with the genre – full of suspense, with plenty of pace. * It Takes a Woman blog *
Ingenious, light-hearted and old-fashioned in the best possible way. A great read. * Maxim Jakubowski, CrimeTime *
