Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: Very Good. Winner of the Crime Fiction Lover Best Indie Crime Novel of 2022 Ingenious, light-hearted and old-fashioned in the best possible way. A great read. Maxim Jakubowski, Crime Time A seriously fun read. Dervla McTiernan, author of The Murder Rule Wickedly clever, highly original and thoroughly entertaining I loved it! Chris Hammer, author of Scrublands Sulari Gentill delivers another murder mystery gem. Tim Ayliffe, author of The Enemy Within Hannah Tigone, bestselling Australian crime author, is crafting a new novel that begins in the Boston Public Library: four strangers; Winifred, Cain, Marigold and Whit are sitting at the same table when a bloodcurdling scream breaks the silence. A woman has been murdered. They are all suspects, and, as it turns out, each character has their own secrets and motivations and one of them is a murderer. While crafting this new thriller, Hannah shares each chapter with her biggest fan and aspirational novelist, Leo. But Leo seems to know a lot about violence, motive, and how exactly to kill someone. Perhaps he is not all that he seems. The Woman in the Library is an unexpectedly twisty literary adventure that examines the complicated nature of friendship and shows that words can be the most treacherous weapons of all. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: Very Good. Sometimes you need to go deep into the past, to make sense of the present. Alice had not expected to spend the first twenty years of the twenty-first century writing about Leonard Woolf. When she stood on Morell Bridge watching fireworks explode from the rooftops of Melbourne at the start of a new millennium, she had only two thoughts. One was: the fireworks are better in Sydney. The other was: was the worlds technology about to crash down around her? The worlds technology did not crash. But there were worse disasters to come: Environmental collapse. The return of fascism. Wars. A sexual reckoning. A plague. Uncertain of what to do she picks up an unfinished project and finds herself trapped with the ghosts of writers past. What began as a novel about a member of the Bloomsbury set, colonial administrator, publisher and husband of one the most famous English writers of the twentieth century becomes something else altogether. Complex, heartfelt, darkly funny and deeply moving, this is Sophie Cunninghams most important book to date a dazzlingly original novel about what its like to live through a time that feels like the end of days, and how we can find comfort and answers in the past. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
