The sequel / Jean Hanff Korelitz.

Summary:

"Anna Williams-Bonner has taken care of business. That is to say, she's taken care of her husband, bestselling novelist Jacob Finch Bonner, and solved the mystery of the anonymous plagiarism accusations that tormented him. Now she is living her life, content to enjoy her husband's royalty checks in perpetuity, but literary celebrity continues to beckon, and this time the book in question is her own debut novel, The Afterword. After all, how hard can it really be to write and publish a universally lauded best seller? Then, in the wake of The Afterword's great success, Anna begins to receive anonymous accusations of her very own. Surely there is no one out there who still knows the truth about her colorful life, so who is sending her these excerpts of a justly lost manuscript by a justly unpublished author? Who knows her true name and origins? Who understands the exact nature of her many, many transgressions? Anna has come too far, and worked too hard, to lose this life. She cannot rest until she has eradicated the threat and reclaimed, definitively and permanently, her sole and uncontested right to her own story"-- Provided by publisher.

    In Korelitz's The Plot, Anna Williams-Bonner murdered her writer husband Jake and made it look like a suicide, all in an attempt to keep him from unearthing her untidy past. She'd murdered her parents and daughter, invented a new life for herself, then killed her brother when he wrote a tell-all novel about her and showed it to his writing teacher, who happened to be Jake. Jake borrowed its plot and wrote it up as his own book, The Crib, which became an instant success. Then Jake started digging into Anna's past, and she had to take care of him too. Now, in Korelitz's follow-up to The Plot, Anna is enjoying life as the widow of her newly famous late husband. She's written a deceitful book about the experience and is on tour promoting it. But someone is refusing to follow the script she's prepared; cryptic notes, pages from her brother's manuscript start showing up around her. What is a respectable woman to do? Anna sets out to find the culprits and remove them and the manuscript from the world forever. Along the way, she kills an innocent person, but that's just a mistake. From then on, the victims get what's due to them. VERDICT The narrative starts slowly but by the end, it steams along. This book will fly off the shelves.—David Keymer
