....sincerely, your Leo....

Wow! I needed this book. I love a book that has a format that is different than other thrillers of it's time. This is a story of how two people from two different parts of the work began to share things and attempt to further their careers. I want you to know it is much deeper than that. I want to prepare you for the format of this book. It follows the story of a man name Leo who is helping a woman who is a writer in Australia finish her manuscript. Her manuscript is about a woman who was killed in a library and people around her is trying to figure out the mystery of her death. 

The format of this book is in the form of letters that they (Leo and the woman) are sending to each other. In between those letters are actual chapters of the book that is set where Leo lives (Boston). The woman is asking Leo for advice about each chapter of her book and asking Leo to give her information about Boston American culture so that her characters are authentic. In short, after the end a chapter from "woman in the libray" Leo give very insightful input about the chapter and how to make the chapters more thrilling. 

The book starts out with a woman who died in a library and she screamed. Investing that scream and the possibility of people being devious is something the main character inside the "woman in the library" novel must figure out. I know this may seem confusing but I promise you, oddly enough it was easy to follow and flowed soooooo well. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future. 

Just know that you may be confused of who the killer is for a large part of the book. Which I loved. Or maybe you are more cleaver than I and are able to figure it out via context clues. Either way the mystery, suspense, and thrilling elements of this book was top tier.
