The Ghostwriter by Julie Clark


This was an excellent thriller that I absolutely did not figure out until the very end.  

Olivia Dumont, a ghostwriter is tasked with writing her father's  memoir.  He is a horror author suspected of murdering his own siblings. This is not something Olivia wants to write but due to mounting debts she agrees to take it on.  She has been estranged from her father since she was a teenager and most people do not even know they are related.  Olivia now must uncover what is really true and find out if her own father is a murderer.  

What really shines here is the intricate dance between Olivia and her father.  After decades of silence, Vincent is finally ready to tell his story, and Olivia finds herself caught in a web of half-truths, buried secrets, and the gnawing question of her father's guilt or innocence. 

The tension throughout the book keeps simmering.  There are tantalizing clues and red herrings that will keep you guessing until the very end.  While reading my mind went through so many different scenarios of what could have happened.  This is a  gripping thriller that explores the dark side of family secrets.  This is a great read for anyone who likes thrillers or a great mystery!
