July’s book club read was “The Woman in the Library” by Sulari Gentill. This author’s writing style is impressive. I loved this book.
It is a story within a story. I admit I was a bit confused at the beginning, as I had never read a book written this way. Once I understood the structure of writing, I was hooked. I did not figure the perpetrator out until it was revealed, so hats off to the writer. Lots of plot twists!
Book jacket synopsis:
In every person’s story, there is something to hide…
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.
