The Liar's Dictionary

“The Liar’s Dictionary is an enormously charming novel about putting the world into words.

John Francisconi, McNally Jackson City Point

The Woman in the Library

“Wow! The Woman in the Library delivers all the suspense and twistiness that you could want in a mystery thriller. I was looking for reasons to open the audiobook and listen every day. This cleverly constructed novel opens with a scream—literally—and doesn’t stop until you reach the finale. Winifred, an Australian mystery writer, finds herself sitting with three strangers at the Boston Public Library on an afternoon when the hallowed halls are shaken by the aforementioned scream. The four become friends, bonding over their shared bizarre experience and the mystery of the woman eventually found murdered in the building. What Winifred doesn’t know then is that one of them is the murderer... In a master stroke of plotting there is also a parallel meta narrative going on with emails to an Australian mystery writer who is 'writing' the mystery you are at this moment reading. I just loved this book, and I’m really intrigued by whether Gentill intends to expand the characters in another book. Buy and download this audio book immediately! Katherine Littrell’s narration is superb. You won’t be disappointed.”

Couple Found Slain

“I found the story line intriguing. The portrayal of life inside the hospital was shocking and eye-opening for what the residents endured. I often found myself siding with Brian in regards to his conversations with his psychiatrists about his progress and medications.”
