Lost in a Good Book (Thursday Next #2)

Jasper Fforde's second Thursday Next book is Lost in a Good Book.

It seems as though someone it trying to kill Thursday. She is encountering too many coincidences to be a coincidence. The problem is, after the first book, it could be so many different people. The Goliath corporation is after her to release Jack Schitt from the book he is trapped in. The Chronoguard is after her for information on her father. SpecOps own PR woman Cordelia Flakk is after her to do more interviews about her rescue of Jane Eyre. And could it be that Hades is alive?

Thursday's life keeps becoming more complicated. She is due at a trial in the book world for committing a Class II Fiction Infraction when she changed the ending of Jane Eyre. But the trial is to take place in the Kafka book The Trial. Thursday has to figure out how to go about getting into the book before she misses her court date.
