No one knows Margo's real name. They have no reason to suspect that she is, in fact, a former nurse with a trail of countless premature deaths in her wake. That is, at least, until Patricia, a recent graduate and failed novelist, joins the library staff. Patricia quickly notices Margo's subtly sinister edge, and watches her carefully. When a patron's death in the library bathroom gives her a hint of Margo's mysterious past, Patricia can't resist digging deeper even as this new fixation becomes all-consuming. This is a really good book as the librarian, Patricia, is taking notes and keeping a journal. These writings have turned into a book about a psychotic nurse who is working as a librarian. The plot is unique and allowed me to read about Margo and her dark secrets. As I read on, I really enjoyed the ending and I am looking forward to reading another book by the author, Laura Sims. If you like unique books about someone who isn't who they are suppose to be then you will love this book.
