Ava goes out to a bistro with her friend, Poppy, and meets a man that wants to buy her a drink. She says no and wants to go home. He is quite persistent. She feels threatened as she leaves when he shouts to her, "you'll be sorry." After this occurrence, strange things start to happen. She hears noises in her home, finds a dead bird in her garden, gets suspended at work for something she had no idea about, and now a friend of her's has died. Something happened to Ava ten years prior with a man in college. She wonders if this is some how related to the bistro man.

THE LIBRARIAN was a fun read. I did assume correctly what was happening, but even though I did, I found the book to be quite entertaining. Ava was very paranoid as she should be. I think if you like to play detective, you'll likely enjoy this novel.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood book for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This review will be shared to my Instagram ( @coffee.break.book.reviews) in the near future.

Yea! Valerie Keogh delivers yet again! I just adore her writing style. This was an obsessive game playing addiction and I loved it. It was hard to know who to believe and trust. Amazing characters. Dark and twisty
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book

Love love love this author fantastically written straight to the point in the chapters ...I look forward to all this authors books when they are released :) very very enjoyable read!!!!!if I could score it 1000000 i would lol :):)

Great cover! Just a three star read for me though. I liked the plot but found the twists and turns just didn't deliver for me this time. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC for the purpose of this review.

This book was a decent read, it had light suspense, intrigue, action, mystery, murder, good detective work and some crazy twist and turns! The storyline was interesting and flowed nicely! It wasn't one of my all time favorite but still worth reading! I will recommend reading this book! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Shhhhh....Silence is safer.

Ava Warrington head librarian at the Tate Modern London is doing her dream job.
What happened in her life ten years ago, Simon Loder would still be alive and she has learned she has to say No.
Out with her best friend Poppy at the Belevedere Bistro, a chat up line leads her to say no and walking away to a voice shouting "You'll be sorry" and she flees home to Streatham.
Things start to occur that sets off Ava's paranoia and her imagination making her once again subconscious and that bistro man is getting under her skin.
There's a lot more trouble ahead for her as I kept reading on.

Let me start by saying this book is so good, it has all the potentials added to draw you in with almighty twists, and turns unimaginable, that made me jump and keep looking over your shoulder.
every chapter tells a different side that will keep readers hooked with characters that you are unable to trust.
This author knows how to push buttons in her readers to bring you a big slap bang ending, I loved it all, and could not put it down till I had finished.
An absolutely mind blowing stand alone, to sit read and open your eyes to blinding chapters.
5 stars.

I'm a massive fan of the author and went into this with high expectations and I have to say, this book surpassed every one!

This is what every other psychological thriller aspires to be. I was hooked almost instantly. The story has a good pace and progresses in a logical fashion. The twists and turns come out of nowhere and have your jaw on the floor.

The characters are so well written and the whole story is told on such a way that you just get sucked in and can see all the events play out in front of your eyes. I dont know how but this story is so vividly brought to life and you won't be able to out it down until you get to that final reveal.

A must read!

Mystery and intrigue…this book was written by a talented and gifted author. It is a cannot put down mystery. The characters are realistic. The story moves quickly. This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher and the author. I tried to guess the ending over and over. It was not easily accomplished. This would make a mysterious television series. The bird at the beginning was almost a character. The images of the night, the shutters, the frightening shadows add to the mysterious theme of this book. I almost got up and shut my drapes tighter. Suspenseful and a feeling of eeriness add to this story.

Keogh is a masterly storyteller and one with a growing reputation for delivering fast-paced thrillers There’s a scene in the book, in the Tate Modern that I actually gasped at out loud. Pretty embarrassing as I was on the bus at the time 😬

this author has done it again a very gripping addictive read. Ava Warrington likes a quiet life she loves her job as head Librarian at tate modern. she loves her home that is all hers.once she loved the partys and fun but something happened to her at university. she has a sister Judy who she thinks the world of. and a best friend Poppy.
