My review:
Since I work in a library I’m always down with plot that takes place in one. Unfortunately, this was just okay for me. I could not connect with any of the characters. I was not overly invested in the story, or the story within the story, but I chose to stick with it because I did want to know how it would all play out.
Currently, a, not terrible, 3.58 average rating on GR and 4/5 and an editor’s pick on Amazon, so maybe you’ll like it more than I did.
I was able to listen to the final version on audio as well, so I went back and forth reading and listening. Ultimately the e-book was better. Katherine Littrell did an okay job narrating for 8 hours and 58 minutes, easy to follow at 2x.

Save on The Woman in the Library at Booksamillion.com.Book blurb:
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.
Award-winning author Sulari Gentill delivers a sharply thrilling read with The Woman in the Library, an unexpectedly twisty literary adventure that examines the complicated nature of friendship and shows us that words can be the most treacherous weapons of all.
