5.0

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press

And so we go to the Map Room to found a friendship, and I have my first coffee with a killer.

I could NOT put this book down. Seriously, I binge-read it in a day. Full of twists and turns, it had me questioning everything that I thought I knew. It was the perfect mystery, full of suspense and intrigue, with a brilliant ending.

The library takes on a consciousness of its own, watchful, patient, dangerous.

I loved the academic setting, and the main character was a superb narrator. Without giving away too much, I also enjoyed the inclusion of Leo's POV. It added another layer of mystery to the story, which had me on the edge of my seat while reading. Overall a 5-star read for me.
