You’ll love The Sequel.
The wildly twisty and devilishly clever new thriller from the author of the New York Times bestseller The Plot.
Not many first-time novelists get a profile in the New York Times. Then again, few first-time novelists come with the backstory of Anna Williams-Bonner: recent bride of a wildly successful writer who took his own life even as his fame seemed on the ascent. Anna’s book is climbing the bestseller lists. But when someone leaves a cryptic note for her at a book signing, she realises that not all the attention is positive. For years, Anna’s been keeping secrets about her past: what if someone knows the truth? She will do anything to keep what she values most: the right to her own story.
Readers are loving The Sequel:
‘The most delicious binge ever.’
‘This is the kind of book Patricia Highsmith would have written.’
‘Dark, brilliant . . . [with] several twists which I never saw coming.’
‘Intriguing . . . I guarantee you’ll have a book hangover after this one!’
‘Kept me guessing the entire time, I would definitely recommend it.’

The Sequel is the continuation of the life of Anna, the widow of Jacob Finch Bonner, the main character in The Plot. Never has there been a more narcissistic villain. A psychopath who has killed her parents, brother and most shockingly, her daughter. Korelitz is a superb writer, and the book is excellent.
Mrs Armtrough –
The perfect sequel to the equally compelling ‘Plot’, the author has created a chilling but audacious psychopath as her lead who takes the reader on a complex roller-coaster of murder, stolen stories and identities as well as giving a scathing and often hilarious take down of the envy, self-interest and delusion of the publishing world. Immensely entertaining, I can’t wait for Part Three.

I read Sequel in one long evening. Could not put it down. It moves right along, and is the thriller its predecessor wanted to be. Don’t think you can read just one of them. The plot intricacies, the main character, the stunning denouement all demand some serious reading time.

Poorly written, cliche-ridden, implausible, this book is the very worse of the 100 or so books I read this year. I do hope there will not be a sequel to the sequel!!!

SPOILER ALERT!Jean Hanff Korelitz is one of my favourite writers, and The Sequel is no exception to that rule. Anna is an amazing character and, despite her (ahem) somewhat murderous tendencies, sheâs as entertaining, smart and persistent here as she was in The Plot. I did take a star off because things got a tad crazy towards the end of the book, but itâs thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless. Read JHKâs entire oeuvre people: you wonât be disappointed!
