THE PLOT

Narrator Kirby Heyborne maintains the brisk pace and firm tension of what promises to be one of the summer's most talked about suspense novels. When failing novelist Jake Bonner hears that one of his MFA students has died, he steals the plot from the student's novel in progress and enjoys momentous success. But he soon finds himself threatened with exposure--or something worse. Jake's purloined storyline features a much-heralded twist, and author Jean Hanff Korelitz has a few cunning twists up her own sleeve. This is one of those can't-stop-listening puzzlers that may not have you on the edge of your seat but will certainly keep you at wit's end for almost 11 diverting and satisfying listening hours.
