He encourages her to include murder, physical and sexual abuse of female characters, and gory details. Freddy is writing a book and she decides to incorporate these three people into her book, a sort of writing what she sees.

THE AUTHOR: Once upon a time, Sulari Gentill was a corporate lawyer serving as a director on public boards, with only a vague disquiet that there was something else she was meant to do. I loved the mystery novel wrapped in a mystery novel, the Boston locations, the characters, the whole thing, but I don’t understand the last pages and I don’t know what we readers were supposed to get from it! Sulari Gentill's The Woman in the Library is an unexpectedly twisty literary adventure that examines the complicated nature of friendship and shows us that words can be the most treacherous weapons of all. I couldn’t wait to pick it up every chance that I could, and it will be a favorite of mine this year!Freddie is trying to solve the case of who killed Caroline Palfrey, leaving her body hidden under the buffet table in the library gallery. Each chapter of Hannah’s book, is followed by the latest correspondence from Leo, who becomes more and more invested in her novel, as Freddie’s story progresses.
