Erin's Reviews > The Sequel

ARC for review. To be published October 1, 2024.

In this sequel to THE PLOT, in the previous book professor Jacob Finch Bonner was accused of plagiarizing his hit book. He has died and his widow, Anna Williams-Bonner is on a publicity tour for his final book.

Then she tries her hand at writing and publishing (and, because of Jacob’s renown, sidesteps any difficulties with getting an agent or publisher) and she is thrilled to receive acclaim for her own book. Then she begins to receive portions of a novel which shouldn’t exist that show that someone has knowledge about her late brother, her husband and likely her.

“First of all, it wasn’t even that hard,” a great first line that is a lovely slap at her late husband and at writers in general…and so reflective of the character that is Anna Williams-Bonner, a woman with interesting motivations. This is a fun read, with lots of good name dropping, and I loved the chapter names. I always enjoy this author when I read her and this is no exception….definitely a worthy sequel. Recommended.
