NetGalley Review: The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill

Rating:   ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Wow!  This was such a refreshing change from the recent murder mysteries I have been reading!  The unique format blends epistolary narrative with classic prose, all layered by being a book that is about a book being written about a woman writing a book.  It is as “meta” and delightful as it sounds!  All layers of the mystery are solvable, but not in an obvious way and despite the reader being given all the needed information, Gentill manages to add multiple twists that even seasoned genre readers will not see coming.  I have not enjoyed a mystery this much in a long time!
