‘Craftily pulling the strings of both is the real author herself, Sulari Gentill, who proves once again that she is a true master of the genre. The Woman in the Library is a beguiling murder mystery nestled within an epistolary crime novel wrapped up as a metafiction – and it’s a delight.’
The Sydney Morning Herald
