Publisher Description
The ornate reading room at the Boston Public Library is quiet—until the tranquility is shattered by a woman's terrified scream. Security guards take charge immediately, instructing everyone inside to stay put until the threat is identified and contained. While they wait for the all-clear, four strangers, who'd happened to sit at the same table, pass the time in conversation, and friendships are struck. Each has his or her own reasons for being in the reading room that morning—it just happens that one is a murderer. Award-winning author Sulari Gentill delivers a sharply thrilling listen with this unexpectedly twisty literary adventure that examines the complicated nature of friendship and reveals that words can be the most treacherous weapons of all.

Loved it but a little confused
But why was Leo there at the End? What did I miss!?
learning
A good look at a time and place that I have not encountered in book very often. Enjoy learning every day and did wonder how this gal got so saucy and sassy , strong and pragmatic.
Mediocre
I’m two hours into the book but I don’t think I’ll finish it. I want to like it but the characters don’t feel real enough and the dialogue feels a bit forced. Also, it’s hard to explain but periodically we’re taken out of the mystery to read letters from a friend who is supposed to be giving notes on the manuscript of the story. It’s a unique idea but all it seems to do is disrupt the flow of the story.
