The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill
mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Loveable characters: No

Thank you to Poison Pen Press and NetGalley for the gifted ebook of The Woman in the Library!  All opinions in this review are my own.

When I first started reading The Woman in the Library, I was really into it!  I loved the structure of a woman writing a thriller and receiving feedback from her friend in the form of letters at the end of each chapter.

The only two things I didn't like were the mentions of the pandemic and the ending.  The pandemic made the book a little too real, especially since Leo was criticizing the author for not including it, and it's a thriller so the endings are usually not that satisfying.

That being said, overall, I did enjoy the experience of reading this thriller.  If you focus on that and the unique structure, you will enjoy The Woman in the Library!
