The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill
Winner of the Crime Fiction Lover Best Indie Crime Novel of 2022 ‘Ingenious, light-hearted and old-fashioned in the best possible way. A great read.’ – Maxim Jakubowski, Crime Time ‘A seriously fun read.’ – Dervla McTiernan, author of The Murder Rule ‘Wickedly clever, highly original and thoroughly entertaining – I loved it!’ – Chris Hammer, author of Scrublands ‘Sulari Gentill delivers another murder mystery gem.’ – Tim Ayliffe, author of The Enemy Within 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.
