Winner of the Crime Fiction Lover Best Indie Crime Novel of 2022 'A
seriously fun read.' - Dervla McTiernan, author of The Murder Rule
'Wickedly clever, highly original and thoroughly entertaining - I
loved it!' - Chris Hammer, author of Scrublands 'Sulari Gentill
delivers another murder mystery gem.' - Tim Ayliffe, author of The
Enemy Within 'And then there is a scream. Ragged and terrified. A
beat of silence even after it stops, until we all seem to realise
that the Reading Room Rules no longer apply.' Hannah Tigone,
bestselling Australian crime author, is crafting a new novel that
begins in the Boston Public Library: four strangers; Winifred,
Cain, Marigold and Whit are sitting at the same table when a
bloodcurdling scream breaks the silence. A woman has been murdered.
They are all suspects, and, as it turns out, each character has
their own secrets and motivations - and one of them is a murderer.
While crafting this new thriller, Hannah shares each chapter with
her biggest fan and aspirational novelist, Leo. But Leo seems to
know a lot about violence, motive, and how exactly to kill someone.
Perhaps he is not all that he seems... The Woman in the Library is
an unexpectedly twisty literary adventure that examines the
complicated nature of friendship - and shows that words can be the
most treacherous weapons of all.
