Synopsis

The captivating psychological thriller Dean Koontz calls "pure delight, a swift yet psychologically complex read" by Sulari Gentill, author of #1 LibraryReads pick The Woman in the Library

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 is a piece of meta-fiction with a wildly inventive twist on the murder mystery that takes listeners on a journey filled with passion, obsession, and the emptiness left behind when the real world starts to fall away.

Who is writing about whom? Confused? Well, grab your best pair of pajamas and settle in for a wild ride! What an origina......more

Fascinating! While writing this all I could think about was the Oscar Wilde quote: “life imitates art far more than art imitates life”... In this case, the “art” is Madeleine d’Leon’s own crime novel. As her marriage deteriorates she pens her perfect man, in her protagonist, Edward McGinnity, called......more
