Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Julie Clark. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Ghostwriter Olivia Dumont hasn't told anyone the truth about her past - that she is the only child of horror author Vincent Taylor, who was also the prime suspect in the brutal slaying of his siblings when they were all teenagers. Desperate for money, Olivia agrees to ghostwriter her father's last book, but she'll have to deal with her past in order to do so.
Julie Clark knocked it out of the park yet again. This was a fast-paced, multi-layered mystery that also explored the concept of memory. Olivia's father tells his version of the events that occurred in 1975, but he is suffering from a form of dementia, so it's difficult for Olivia to discern the truth. She's also under contract not to talk to other people to get their versions of the truth. The story goes back in the past so that the reader hears about the events from multiple points of view as well. This is a book filled with family secrets, both past and present, and a mystery waiting to be solved. I couldn't put it down.
