I loved the idea behind this book — a mystery book inside a mystery book inside a mystery book. The concept is so well thought-out and keeps you guessing from start to finish. I genuinely had no idea how Hannah’s book would end. That said, the mystery surrounding Hannah herself is a bit easier to figure out. In fact, it almost feels like the actual author writes better when writing as someone else.
Oh, and if this review is a little confusing… Well, so was the book at times! Still, I really enjoyed watching not just Hannah’s fictional mystery unfold, but also her real-life story, which we only got in tiny spoonfuls through Leo’s correspondence with her. So even though it was occasionally a bit hard to follow, I still believe it’s definitely worth the read!

Four strangers…A quite library…The Perfect Place for murder…”
A bloodcurdling scream in a Boston public library resulting in the murder of a woman sets this tale off and brings together four strangers who each becomes a suspect.
Everything about this book drew me in and had me hooked. From its Hitchcock vibe cover (the Australian version), to its interesting and intriguing story line, I couldn’t wait to dive in!
Right from the outset Gentill had my attention. She knows how to weave a suspenseful, clever and twisty tale and I loved the story within a story concept,that has been executed perfectly!
The characters each bring the story to life and I enjoyed getting to know them and their hidden secrets. They are a diverse bunch and make the story all the more riveting.
The Woman in the Library is a super fun and entertaining mystery to sink your teeth into and I absolutely loved it! I am so glad to have been introduced to Gentill’s work, who I found to be a wonderful story teller and I look forward to reading more from her.

The characters never managed to grip me and the beginning was a little confusing. It was good enough to not DNF, but I felt a little let down overall.
