The Ghostwriter by Julie Clark #bookreview @sourcebooks #mystery #thriller

Overview

Expertly plotted and exquisitely twisted… Julie Clark masterfully weaves together a daughter’s long-held suspicions and her father’s deadly secrets with the tragic events from the past. The Ghostwriter kept me turning pages in this suspenseful search for the truth.” — Ashley Elston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of First Lie Wins

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.

Review

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.

Olivia is a complex character. I liked her some of the time, but not all of the time. And don’t get me started on her dad. He is definitely someone that is self righteous and selfish. But, he redeems himself in the end.

I enjoyed the dual timelines in this novel. It creates a unique guessing game!

This is a tale which captivates you with clues. It takes you on a scavenger hunt for the truth. And trust me, you do not want to miss it.

When I started reading this book it was a solid 4 star read. But that changed when it hit the end. The ending of this book twists and turns around itself and moved right into the 5 star range for me. Yes, I did figure out part of the story but not all!

Need a unique family mystery that will keep you guessing…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today!

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
