The Woman in the Library


Sulari Gentill


Winner of the Crime Fiction Lover Best Indie Crime Novel of 2022

'Ingenious, light-hearted and old-fashioned in the best possible way. A great read.' - Maxim Jakubowski, Crime Time

'A seriously fun read.' - Dervla McTiernan, author of The Murder Rule

'Wickedly clever, highly original and thoroughly entertaining - I loved it!' - Chris Hammer, author of Scrublands

'Sulari Gentill delivers another murder mystery gem.' - Tim Ayliffe, author of The Enemy Within

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.

Sulari Gentill is the author of the multi- award-winning Rowland Sinclair Mysteries, a series of (currently) ten historical crime novels set in 1930s Australia. Under the name S. D. Gentill, Sulari wrote the The Hero Trilogy - a fantasy adventure series based on the myths and legends of the ancient world. Her widely praised standalone novel, Crossing the Lines, won the Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Novel, was short-listed for the Davitt Award, and chosen as Apple's Best Book of the Month for April 2020.

Most recently, Sulari was awarded a Copyright Agency Cultural Fund Fellowship for The Woman in the Library. Sulari lives in a small country town in the Australian Snowy Mountains where she grows French Black Truffles and writes. She remains in love with the art of storytelling.
