Written by Sulari Gentill, this is about…. 3 plots within a plot? And I actually enjoyed this quite a bit.
We have an aspiring writer, who moved to Boston from out-of-the-country and is trying to make it in literature. At the same time, the story is being written and reviewed by someone who actually lives in Boston in real life. Oh, and the aspiring writer? She is also writing a story.
If you couldn’t figure out by the title, in the “main” story there is a death in the library that brings 4 strangers together, whom end up inspiring the characters for the story within a story within a story.
That is to say, if you can’t deal with or don’t like to read stories from multiple perspectives, give this one a pass.
This book also has a lot of twists that I, personally, enjoyed. Some I didn’t see coming, some I suspected, but overall I enjoyed reading – er, listening to – this book. I think the narration really helped the plot along and took what might have otherwise been a more basic writing style and helped to really immerse me into the story.
If you don’t like murder, if you want a bunch of romance or dare-do-well, pass on this book. If you like twisty suspense, perhaps give the audiobook a try. I think that is actually the best way to read this story.
I did receive this book in exchange for an honest review.
