How Can I Help You by Laura Sims

For two years, Margo has had a quiet life in the small town of Carlyle, Illinois, working at the public library. No one knows that she is really Jane, wanted by the authorities for killing many patients when she worked as a nurse. When Patricia, an aspiring writer, starts a job as the new librarian, both she and Margo are intrigued by each other. For Patricia, it's because being around Margo has gotten her out of her writing slump, even though Patricia at first knows nothing about Margo's past. Margo, on the other hand, finds Patricia an interesting person with similarities to her friend Donna from her nursing days. Told from the points of view of both Margo and Patricia, How Can I Help You, puts the women on a collision course that you know can't end well. A page turner for readers of Peter Swanson, Laura Lippman, and Hallie Ephron.
