Audiobook review of The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill

Sulari Gentill’s novel The Woman in the Library (9 hours) is an intriguing mystery-within-a-mystery, carried out with a measured sense of menace by voice actor Katherine Littrell.

Winifred Kincaid, an Australian on a scholarship, is at the Boston Public Library when she hears a lady’s scream. Winifred’s life turns into inextricably tied to 3 different strangers who’re current for the discovery of a physique. But this crime is definitely the plot of a ebook being written by Hannah, an Australian who exchanges letters with Leo, an American author who critiques her work and factors out cultural idiosyncrasies.

Littrell combines restraint and a modulated pitch to convey Hannah’s characters’ rising uncertainty and worry as they believe each other of the lady’s homicide. Similarly, Littrell’s portrayal of Hannah brings out her anxiousness and suspicion about Leo, who’s changing into obsessive about Hannah’s novel and begins sending her crime scene pictures to encourage her. Many listeners will recognize Littrell’s accents, which spotlight the cultural variations between America and Australia.
