Story
Rowland Sinclair is an artist and a gentleman. In Australia's 1930s, the Sinclair name is respectable and influential, yet Rowland has a talent for scandal. He relies on the Sinclair fortune to indulge his artistic passions and friends: a poet, a painter and a brazen sculptress. Mounting tensions fuelled by the Great Depression take Australia to the brink of revolution, but Rowland Sinclair is indifferent to the politics...until a brutal murder exposes an extraordinary and treasonous conspiracy.

A fantastic book with characters that pop
- By A. Jecks on 16-09-2022
Publisher's Summary
Four strangers. A quiet library. The perfect place for murder.
‘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.
Critic Reviews
"Wickedly clever, highly original and thoroughly entertaining—I loved it!" (Chris Hammer, author of Scrublands and Treasure and Dirt)
"Sulari Gentill pulls back the curtain on writers and their fixations, revealing the duplicity, the secret rages and the jealousy. Everything, no matter how dire, is material in the end." (Jock Serong, author of The Rules of Backyard Cricket and The Burning Island)
"This elegantly constructed novel is intelligent, funny and profound. Who could ask for more?" (Publishers Weekly)

Enjoyable on every level
After a run of mediocre ‘light’ books, poorly written & narrated, this was an absolute delight. Had heard a review & interview with Sulari Gentill on ABCRN Bookshelf and was intrigued.
The result was more satisfying than expected. Loved the 2 level plot, (& the anonymous ‘author … like a hall of mirrors!) with many of my responses (initially at least) to the main ‘crime’ story being voiced by ‘reader’ Leo ( as well as the ‘crime story character Leo’ … eg “all novels are romances”).
Generally reveled in the accurate, deft, and affectionate, observation of cultural differences. So enjoyed ‘the author’s’ plot line responses to Leo’s advice - a wonderful lightness of touch and the humor even in the tension. ( Only ‘clunk’ was at the beginning calling a law firm Abercrombie & Kent … couldn’t see a reason for this on any level … goodness - I sound like Leo!).
And all of it written with a comfortably sure, real and ‘natural’ Australian (& American) voice - with gentle witticisms & delightful sentence structures!
Can’t speak highly enough of the narration of Edwina Wren & Nick Ravenswood. Wren’s warmth & understanding of plot & characters really came through (recently listened to a ‘Grim’ murder story … mostly cos I’d just been to the Yorkshire Dales … where the narrator made all the women sound like a Benny Hill or Monty Python caricature). Yes Gentill wrote the likeable friends but Wren brought them beautifully to life.
Ravenswood’s gradually, almost imperceptibly ‘changing’ (no spoilers!) Leo was masterful. And I thought both their dealing with changing accents was so natural to almost need no comment - other than well done,
We’re all in need of light reads. This was an enjoyable, entertaining (without compromising on quality!) read and listen after a long drought of either.

loved the interesting structure of this book
the woman I'm the library is an interesting exploration around the relationships between beta readers/fans and writer/creators. this relationship between the imagined writer and her fan turned critique partner is what gives real tension to the book.
oddly the central murder story of the woman in the library is a little under developed - but this is in keeping with the idea of the book that it is a draft being written in the context of the correspondence between the two main characters, the author Helen and the critique partner Leo.
overall it kept my interest and was a very enjoyable experience to go on this journey with the author. I will be looking out for more of her books in the future.
