About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

In the centre of New York stands the city’s most notorious library.


It has a history of mysterious disappearances and freak accidents. But tonight, it opens its doors to welcome a group of strangers for an exclusive after-hours tour.

The famous author. The journalist. The professor. The bookseller. The architect.

They are here to see a legendary book – one of the most valuable in the world. But each visitor also has other, more sinister reasons, for being in the library after dark.

As the tour takes them deeper into the building, one of the guests meets a gruesome, inexplicable end – and the others realise they are living on borrowed time.

The search for the murderer forces them to confront awful truths about themselves and decide which secrets are worth dying – or killing – to keep.

Critic Reviews

Praise for The Library After Dark:
Atmospheric, chilling and brilliantly clever. With its gorgeous haunted library, creepy happenings and fresh twists, The Library After Dark is a true modern Gothic thriller. Do not read this one after dark!
Praise for Ande Pliego
When you trap a group of mystery authors on a secluded island, the result is wickedly delightful mayhem! It’s Agatha Christie on steroids.
You Are Fatally Invited is a novel with black ink in its veins and a cheeky smile on its face. RSVP immediately.
Glass Onion meets Cluedo in this intricate and clever thriller - original and atmospheric.
Twisty and fabulously fun, You Are Fatally Invited is a locked room mystery that readers won’t want to put down. With its clever use of tropes and an expertly drawn cast of characters, this debut is not to be missed!
And Then There Were None via Knives Out meets... On Writing?! An ingeniously plotted, deliciously dark treat for thriller fans. I enjoyed every page.
