After She Wrote Him by Sulari Gentill
4.0
After She Wrote Him by Sulari Gentill (previously published as Crossing The Lines) is a fun and original book that takes readers on a captivating journey through the realms of meta-fiction. As a relative newcomer to this genre, I found myself thoroughly engrossed and eager to explore more.
Sulari Gentill's writing is skillful and precise, making for an enjoyable and easy reading experience. The book's clever take on crime fiction earned it the 2018 Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Fiction. Having had the pleasure of hearing Sulari Gentill speak at events, including the recent BWF, it was intriguing to recognize glimpses of her own writing process in the characters of this novel. This added an extra layer of engagement to the story for me.
While the concept of meta-fiction may not appeal to everyone, I encourage readers to give After She Wrote Him a read. With its intriguing premise, polished prose, and well-crafted characters, it provides an enjoyable journey into the world of meta-fiction. I am grateful for its re-release, as it was an absolute joy to get lost in its pages.
