At CrimeReads belle tagged four "suspense novels I read and loved this past year," including:
The Plot, Jean Hanff Korelitz

Jake is a promising young novelist with a well-received first book, but can’t manage to produce a second. A teacher at a third-rate MFA program, he’s floundering when one of his students shares the plot for a book, a story too good not to steal…and steal it Jake does. A year later he is famous, wealthy, successful beyond his wildest dreams. And then an e-mail arrives with the message, you are a thief. Suspenseful and compulsively readable, with an ending I didn’t see coming.

The Plot is among Louise Dean's top ten novels about novelists.
