⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (rounded up to 5) — Gripping, Layered, and Emotionally Rich

The Ghostwriter completely pulled me in. The writing is sharp, the pacing is spot-on (even if the beginning starts a little slow—just trust it), and the story is messy in the best way.

Julie Clark does an amazing job weaving the past and present together, dropping breadcrumbs that keep you guessing while slowly digging into deeper, emotional layers. It’s a mystery, yes—but it’s also a powerful story about grief, identity, family, and redemption. The characters are complex, flawed, and so emotionally rich that I couldn’t stop thinking about them.

If you’re into smart thrillers with unexpected turns and real emotional depth, this is a must-read. Just go in blind and enjoy the ride. Just know it’s a powerful, haunting story that stays with you. Highly recommend.

Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for the E-ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts!

A very interesting read that had me hooked from the start! 🙌 While not super twisty, it had me trying to figure out who murdered Poppy and Danny. The pacing did feel a bit sluggish at times, but it still kept my interest. Definitely recommend checking this one out!! 👏 Thank you NetGalley, Sourcebooks Landmark, and Julie Clark for the opportunity to read the eARC in exchange for my honest review! ❤️
