Also, the author being an aboriginal person, you would think she would pay attention to stereotypes but no that wasn't the case.

Salma and Bilal are your typical British couple looking to move off the estate and into a quiet suburban neighborhood.If anything is going to make us reveal our true identities as avenging superheroes, surely it's that. The only critique I have that I didn’t like was it did drag on a bit here and there, mostly due to characters repeating situations and events that already happened in dialogue.

The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill Book Review: The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill

Book within a book of an author writing about the friendship formed between 4 strangers brought together by a scream in the library, their lives, hanging out together and the mystery of the murder and between them. This whodunit will ring in your ears like an Alfred Hitchcock or deeper with a subplot that is chilling. She is in the Boston Public Library trying to gather inspiration and finds herself sharing a table with three other people, whom she dubs Freud Girl, Heroic Chin and Handsome Man.The mystery element was intriguing and I found myself pleasantly surprised with the way both the stories progressed.

Unfortunately, I wasn't engaged in the story at all and I finished it only because I had received an ARC. The very end could be taken as sweet, if you don’t pay any attention and want to see the best in people. Hannah Tigone is an Australian author, who is writing a locked room mystery that takes place in Boston. And it didn’t help that Katherine Latrell, the narrator, didn’t do southern accents very well or at least couldn’t switch between an Aussie and an American accent easily. I am not sure if it was because I was reading the ARC, but Leo’s chapters have sections of unfinished thoughts written in red.Hannah also names another character in the book, Freddie’s friend, neighbor and fellow scholar, Leo). I am a bricklayer without drawings, laying words in sentences, sentences into paragraphs, allowing my walls to twist and turn on whim.
