  On Thanksgiving Day, LAPD homicide detective Kate Delafield and her partner, Ed Taylor, are called to an apartment building on the edge of Beverly Hills to investigate a premeditated and pitiless murder. 
   
   
   
  No one appears particularly grieved by the shocking end to old-time Hollywood director Owen Sinclair. Surely not three other tenants of the Beverly Malibu, who worked in the motion picture industry during the blacklist years and loathed Sinclair. 
   
   
   
  Nor is Sinclair's latest ex-wife grieved or even his children. Nor film actress and former paramour Maxine Marlowe. Nor Dudley Kincaid, whose brilliant screenplay Sinclair stole. Nor landlady Hazel Turner, whose husband, Jerome, is deceased but not exactly gone . . .  
   
   
   
  Kate sifts through tantalizing clues: a set of handcuffs fastening the murdered man to his bed of death; an album of a Wagner opera; a bourbon bottle lightly dosed with arsenic; a silver frame missing its photo. 
   
   
   
  She is also in a quandary over her fascination with Paula Grant, who discovered the murdered man. Until she is suddenly confounded by a wholly new aspect of herself uncovered by Aimee Grant, Paula Grant's remarkably beautiful young niece . . .

  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. 
   
   ‘Wickedly clever, highly original and thoroughly entertaining – I loved it!’ Chris Hammer, author of Scrublands and Treasure and Dirt 
   
  ‘A seriously fun read.’ Dervla McTIernan, author of The Ruin and The Murder Rule 
   
  ‘This elegantly constructed novel is intelligent, funny, and profound. Who could ask for more?’ Publishers Weekly 
   
  ‘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 
   
  ‘An enormously clever book. I lay awake thinking about it every night until I finished it.’ Jack Heath, author of Hangman and Kill Your Brother 
   
  ‘The Woman in the Library is devious, tricksy and unpredictable. Gentill kept me guessing to the end. Clever, layered and highly original.’ Karen Viggers, author of The Lightkeeper's Wife and The Orchardist's Daughter 
   
  ‘A vibrant, twisty murder mystery told vividly and with great humour.’ Kaaron Warren, author of Mistification and The Grief Hole
