The ending fell pretty flat for me. All this build up for a mediocre ending.

I thought this jumped around too much between parallel plots.

I’m confused by the lack of 5-star reviews - this was such a fun read that kept me guessing until the end. So unputdownable that I got a hand cramp at one point.

First off, thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

When I say that this book was amazing, that doesn’t even cover half of it. Truly unique, “The Woman in the Library” follows a group of unlikely people banded together while murders and attacks are happening around them with the big question: What is the connection? Who is behind all of this?

After each chapter of the book, there is a letter written to the “author” of the book from a beta reader. This storyline within the story was such a chilling, exhilarating added bonus to this book.

All in all, I genuinely enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it.
