The Woman in the Library

The book's structure with multiple perspectives and commentary kept me guessing, but I wondered if that slowed the narrative or added to the mystery.

The metafictional elements made me question what was 'real' in the story — did others find this effective or confusing?

Libraries are such evocative spaces for secrets and revelations. I'm curious whether the author envisioned this setting from the start or if it developed during writing.
