Et cetera : What we're reading: The Ghostwriter

When a recommendation for a book exceeds one’s expectations you know it is a Must Read!!

From the front jacket of 'The Ghostwriter' by Julie Clark:

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 of his lies. Because it’s not another horror novel he wants her to write.

After fifty years of silence, Vincent is finally ready to talk about what really happened that night in 1975.

This is by far one of the most emotionally complex and suspenseful novels that takes you on a twisted thriller ride with an unbelievable ending, all the while reminding you of the importance of family, one’s own misleading memories, and the valuable message of living fully in your truth.

Prepare to cancel your plans, for once you start reading 'The Ghostwriter' by Julie Clark, you will not put it down.

Happy reading friends,
