Ghostwriter Olivia Dumont has spent her entire professional life hiding the fact that she is the only child of legendary horror author Vincent Taylor, famous not only for his novels but for being the prime suspect in the brutal slaying of his siblings. On the brink of financial ruin, Olivia reluctantly agrees to ghostwrite her father's last book, not realising she will be forced to reckon with the ghosts that live at the centre of her family.

Unreliable narrator? Check. Story I could not stop reading? Check. Finding out who actually killed a brother and sister 50 years ago? Check. This book is a wild ride and I was hooked the entire time. We start off with Olivia Dumont, a ghostwriter with some issues in the publishing world getting approached to ghostwrite a book for her estranged father. She needs the money so she heads there immediately and is met with an ill father that is struggling to remember what happened some days. The writing starts off immediately but not everything is adding up, and the secrets she unveils just might solve this mystery. This entire story is a give and take of information. While you might get some information, it might be wrong. I was eager to see what really happened at the end. If you are a fan of mystery and thrillers you need to pick this book up.
