Publisher Description
"Pure delight, a swift yet psychologically complex read." —Dean Koontz
"It's truly unusual, unique, and every thriller lover should make the time to read this." —Suspense Magazine
It's an author's job to create a new world in the pages of a book. But when lines start to blur and reality begins to fade, getting lost in a story can be dangerous—especially if you can't find your way back.
Madeleine d'Leon doesn't know where Edward came from. He is simply a character in her next book. But as she writes, he becomes all she can think about. His charm, his dark hair, his pen scratching out his latest literary novel...
Edward McGinnity can't get Madeleine out of his mind—softly smiling, infectiously enthusiastic, and perfectly damaged. She will be the ideal heroine for his next book.
But who is the author and who is the creation? And as the lines start to blur, who is affected when a killer finally takes flesh?
After She Wrote Him by Sulari Gentill, USA Today bestselling author of The Woman in the Library is wildly inventive twist on the murder mystery, a book-within-a book consumed with passion, obsession, and the emptiness left behind when the "real world" starts to fall away.
(Previously published as Crossing the Lines)
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Stay with us for this one: Crime novelist Madeleine’s latest book is about a dashing writer named Ned, who’s excitedly working on a new book about…a crime novelist named Madeleine. That’s the dizzying and delicious puzzle at the center of Australian author Sulari Gentill’s utterly different meta-mystery, After She Wrote Him. But the story only gets more delightfully crazy from there. The strange, twisted, and wonderfully fun back-and-forths between the writers’ dueling realities kept our interest because of the care with which Gentill depicts her likable main characters. Both Madeleine and Ned possess emotional depth and share a history of loss. If their paths were to really cross, would that somehow break the spell? Packed with breathless suspense, this fresh and creative mystery swaps the old whodunit for an interesting new question: Who created whom?
