When you trap a group of mystery authors on a secluded island, the result is wickedly delightful mayhem! It’s Agatha Christie on steroids.

:
Richly imagined and wonderfully atmospheric, The Library After Dark captures the dark heart of fairy tales in this fast-paced, locked room thriller.
Mary Watson
Twisty, atmospheric, and wickedly clever—The Library After Dark is Ande Pliego at her absolute sharpest. A locked-library bloodbath laced with dark romance and secrets that cut deeper than any blade; I devoured it in one breathless, brilliant sitting.
Ryan Pote, author of Blood and Treasure
Irresistible—bright and sharp and rife with danger, like a shard of mirror. And what a splendid library Ande Pliego has constructed here! A bibliophile's haunted house, crawling with secrets: in the shadows beneath the shelves, in the darkness behind the doors... and, of course, in the heart of our heroine.
A. J. Finn, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
Stephen King meets Agatha Christie in this brilliant total immersion locked library thriller. The incredibly talented Ande Pliego has managed to concoct a gripping genre-bending mix of fairytale, horror story, and murder mystery in one of the most hauntingly cinematic and cleverly plotted novels I’ve read in a long time. In the best of all possible ways, this is the stuff of nightmares— and a triumph of gorgeously written, twisty, and gasp-worthy suspense. All I can say is: Do not miss this. (But fair warning: Read it with the lights on.)
Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author of All This Could Be Yours
A brilliantly plotted locked-room mystery steeped in gothic atmosphere and fairy-tale menace. The Library After Dark is Agatha Christie by way of the Brothers Grimm.
Kelsey Cox, bestselling author of Party of Liars
Ande Pliego’s twisty thriller is more breakneck than a guillotine, with all the foreboding of a dark fairytale. Smart, edgy, and utterly unique, The Library After Dark will beckon you in… but it might never let you out.
Tara Goedjen, author of Please Enjoy Your Stay
Ande Pliego's sophomore novel affirms her position as a master of misdirection and spellbinding plots. The Library After Dark propels readers through a labyrinth of twists and turns, secrets and fairytales, turning a nighttime tour of a museum-like library into a chilling and highly addictive locked-room thriller. Sit down, open the book, and get ready for a ride!
Darby Kane, #1 internationally bestselling author of Pretty Little Wife
Devilishly clever and gripping right until the end.
