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.

4.5/5 stars
The Ghostwriter is told with two timelines, that skillfully weaves the past and present to unravel a decades-old mystery that continues to haunt those left behind.
Estranged from her father, Olivia is reluctantly pulled back into his world when she’s hired to help write his memoir. Long suspected, though never charged in the brutal murder of his two younger siblings many years ago, Olivia left the past and here the past has finally caught up with her.
The Ghostwriter is a story of secrets, many, many secrets that opens past hurts and the only way to combat them is ultimately to face them. This was an addicting read that alternates between the present-day memoir and the past events leading up to the murders. It was intricately woven, creating a layered, suspenseful story where the truth feels just out of reach. Slowly unraveling of both the murder case and the emotional distance between father and daughter was handled nicely bringing a conclusion with some surprises. I highly recommend The Ghostwriter if you like an addicting read with twists and turns.
