Whispers In The Reading Room (2015) - Plot & Excerpts

She looked far less at ease than Mr. Marks. As for herself? Well, she was barely able to stifle her scream. “Mr. Marks? What are you doing here?” He looked rather unperturbed as he got to his feet. “There you are. At last,” he drawled as he looked her over. “We’ve been waiting on you at least a quarter of an hour.
