Readers say *The Ghostwriter* by Julie Clark is a gripping, emotionally rich thriller praised for its sharp writing, suspenseful pacing, and complex, ...
Everyone has family secrets they want to hide out of embarrassment, shame, or fear. For ghostwriter Olivia Dumont, her father, Vincent Taylor, is not just a horror writer but also a man suspected of killing his siblings, Poppy and Danny. Separated from him by choice, Olivia reluctantly agrees to ghostwrite his final book due to financial need. The book, a semi-autobiographical account, delves into Vincent's past through his memories, Poppy's diary, and her films. As Olivia pieces together their family's dark history, she uncovers secrets that led to tragedy and turmoil. This gripping story is so well-crafted it was hard to put down, and I highly recommend it. The narrative flow was seamless, highlighting how secrets can destroy our lives.

I loved how the story kept me guessing all the way through—every time I thought I knew what was coming, I was wrong.
If you love thrillers with sharp writing, strong female leads, and a storyline that refuses to let you go, The Ghostwriter is a must-read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Fast paced, well laid out with an interesting plot. I read it in 4 sittings. I enjoyed it so much I am reading her last book now.
Kept me hooked
A little slow on the build up but great plot and a fun read to start the Spooky season. Also a bit emotional and had a good closure
