The Woman in the Library

De: Sulari Gentill

Narrado por: Katherine Littrell

The ornate reading room at the Boston Public Library is quiet—until the tranquility is shattered by a woman's terrified scream. Security guards take charge immediately, instructing everyone inside to stay put until the threat is identified and contained. While they wait for the all-clear, four strangers, who'd happened to sit at the same table, pass the time in conversation, and friendships are struck. Each has his or her own reasons for being in the reading room that morning—it just happens that one is a murderer.

Award-winning author Sulari Gentill delivers a sharply thrilling listen with this unexpectedly twisty literary adventure that examines the complicated nature of friendship and reveals that words can be the most treacherous weapons of all.

creativity abounds

it's been a while since a book in the mystery genre has surprised me. This one was incredibly delightful.

It’s okay.

This book starts out much better than it ends. It gets rather unbelievable, and the book within the book conceit doesn’t really work.

I’m disappointed as I expected it to be better.
It’s more of a meh. Entertaining enough, but you don’t need to read it.

Kept you guessing.

Kept me guessing to the end. If you don’t pay attention to the plots created you will get lost. But once you get it it’s a fun ride.

Keeps you guessing

I found that for the majority of the book I could not figure out where the story was headed. There were lots of layers that built on one another until the very end. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because it ended and I still had unanswered questions. That could’ve been intentional but I wanted all the loose ends tied up.

Very Clever Read

Enjoyable mystery, good reading, needs more distinct voices from the narrator though. The meta narrative and actual story all work well together, especially as ways of throwing off the reader, while addressing- and even critiquing- the thoughts of the audience at the same time.
I do think it wrapped up rather quickly at the end, as the climax and resolution all take place within 30 minutes of an 8 hour book. Still, fun mystery.

Skip this one.

Very hard to follow and a very unbelievable story line with a ridiculous twist at the end.

Love Books Within Books

A twisty mystery that starts in a library and features writers working on books. What could be more fun for those who love to read and write.

Stalk much?

The blurb on this book did not allude to anything this book was truly about. That being said, I loved it. Took me for surprise at every turn. Enjoyable listen, quick and to the point. The narrator was great!

Interesting murder mystery

Great presentation. Contains love and romance and a murder mystery. Also a continuous book correspondence. Enjoyed reading book

wow...this book was unexpected

Great characters and a more sophisticated plot than the description leads you to believe. This is my first Sulari Gentill book, and it won't be my last!
