The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill
288 pages
★★★★
In this thriller, four strangers become friends after they all hear a scream in the library while sitting at the same table. After a body is found, the four strangers as they try to discover who the killer was. They come to discover that the killer was one of them.
This book had its ups and downs but overall I would say it was pretty good. The mystery was well-written and I enjoyed the characters but Gentill tried to add a unique element to the novel by writing it as a manuscript being sent to an editor and the editor’s notes in return, which revealed to be a mystery in itself. It was an interesting concept but it felt too meta for me because the main character in the manuscript was ALSO a writer and it just got confusing. Also the end of that mystery ended abruptly and didn’t have much suspense to it, so it felt unnecessary by the end.
