The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

Four people are sitting in the Boston Public library when a blood-curdling scream cuts through the silence. After finding out that the scream was actually a murder, they each inadvertently become entangled in the case and with each other. 

While there was good character development, the murder mystery, and a separate built-in story, I didn’t love it. The concept of bookception (a book within a book lol) is something you don’t see often, but I can’t decide if it was done well or not. It started to feel out of place and sometimes took away from the main story. This one was alright. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t amazing either.
