The Ghostwriter
The Ghostwriter: A Novel | Julie Clark
From the instant New York Times bestselling author of The Last Flight and The Lies I Tell comes a dazzling new thriller. June, 1975. The Taylor family shatters in a single night when two teenage siblings are found dead in their own home. The only surviving sibling, Vincent, never shakes the whispers and accusations that he was the one who killed them. Decades later, the legend only grows as his career as a horror writer skyrockets. Ghostwriter Olivia Dumont has spent her entire professional life hiding the fact that she is the only child of Vincent Taylor. Now on the brink of financial ruin, she's offered a job to ghostwrite her father's last book. What she doesn't know, though, is that this project is another one of his lies. Because it's not another horror novel he wants her to write. After fifty years of silence, Vincent Taylor is finally ready to talk about what really happened that night in 1975.

This book was incredible. Multiple POVs exploring how trauma can shape a family for generations to come. Loved the mystery aspects and it kept me guessing to the very end. #botm

I really enjoyed 'The Ghostwriter.' It has a captivating storyline. Olivia returns to her father's home of Ojai. Her career in tatters. This book might be what brings her back to her life, professionally and personally. All she has to do is write whether her father killed his sister and brother like many believe. The catch is he has Lewy Body Dementia, and fact and fiction are intertwined. 5 stars.

In this very satisfying thriller, ghostwriter Olivia has few options but to take a job writing the latest book for a King-level horror writer…who is also her estranged father. He is widely believed to have killed his siblings as a kid, and Olivia is trying to find the truth. This is well paced and sets the groundwork well for multiple feasible outcomes. I didn‘t want to put it down!

Whew— I couldn‘t put this one down!! The premise hooked me from the very start! Olivia, a ghostwriter out of work for a year after calling out a misogynistic fellow ghostwriter, can‘t refuse the offer her estranged father makes for her to act as his ghostwriter after his Lewy body dementia diagnosis. But the famous horror writer doesn‘t want her to finish his last novel, but instead to tell the story of the 1975 murders of his siblings! Gripping!

Olivia Dumont is pretty much broke.

When she is asked to ghostwrite a book for none other than horror author Vincent Taylor who is her father she hasn‘t talked to for years, she has a difficult decision.

How will this all play out for Olivia?  

Find out in Ms. Clark‘s newest tense, pull-you-in read that started out slowly but ends with a bang. P4/5
