The ornate reading room at the Boston Public Library is quiet, until the tranquility is shattered by a woman's terrified scream. Security guards take charge immediately, instructing everyone inside to stay put until the threat is identified and contained. While they wait for the all-clear, four strangers, who'd happened to sit at the same table, pass the time in conversation and friendships are struck. Each has his or her own reasons for being in the reading room that morning; it just happens that one is a murderer.
This book is two separate storylines written in an unusual format. It is a complex story with surprising twists that held my attention and kept me guessing until the very end. Harriet is an Australian author who seeks a review from Leo who is from Boston. Four members meet and form an immediate friendship. They are Marigold, Whit, Cain or Freddi. They hear a woman scream. Which one is the murderer? I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading another book by Sulari Getill. If you love mystery thrillers then you will love this one.
