A famous mysterious library in New York hosts a legendary book many do have reasons to see, and maybe to have it too. A group of curious among which, an architect, a journalist, a bookseller, a famous author and a professor, taking part to a special after dark tour of the aptly named Daedalus Library. And a potential killer on the run who must be found as soon as possible.
The Library after Dark by Ande Pliego is an alert thriller, with a sense of emergency. I love books sets in libraries, but don´t remember to have read a looked room thriller set in one. For all the right reasons, it was a stellar choice and I was clearly caught into the story web from the very beginning.
The details of the plot are very important for the further development and so is the chain of different points of views reflecting the story. The multiple voices sharing their own version of things echoes the facts, without offering us however enough information for sharing a conclusion of our own. I love books with a generous cast of characters, especially thrillers, because it challenges me more to trace the mystery solution.
Ande Pliego weaved a captivating story, where personal and historical stories are brought together in a puzzle dominated by powerful emotions and hidden family histories.
A recommended read if you are looking for a very eventful thriller story, happening in an unexpected Gothic setting.
Rating: 5 stars
