Sulari Gentill writes crime fiction ranging from historical mysteries to metafictional suspense. Her Rowland Sinclair series begins with A Few Right Thinking Men and follows a wealthy artist in 1930s Australia through murder cases, political extremism and the social tensions of the interwar period. The Woman in the Library shifts to contemporary Boston, where four strangers in a reading room become connected by a scream and a murder, while the novel also plays with the process of writing crime fiction itself. Gentill’s books are witty, plot-led and strongly interested in social context. A Few Right Thinking Men is the starting point for the Rowland Sinclair series, while The Woman in the Library is the better choice for readers who prefer a standalone mystery with metafictional elements.
