The Ghostwriter

A Novel

From the instant New York Times best-selling author of The Last Flight and The Lies I Tell comes a dazzling new thriller.

June, 1975.

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

Intense and dark but handled with care

This serves as a phenomenal built out thriller that handles extremely dark content (check triggers!!) but manages to do it within an appropriate scope for the length and tone of the book over all, and in a genuine way that makes me feel like Clark took care with how she wanted to tell this story.

An excellent novel!

I listen to hundreds of novels a year and this one really held my interest. A terrific main character, well developed plot, good pacing. The dialogue moved the story forward. You will not be disappointed in this one.

great plot

Great plot! Then ending was a little sad but good. I will definitely be reading more from this author

Couldn't Stop Listening

I stayed up way to late listening because I had to know the answers.

A Mystery That Keeps You Guessing!

WOW! This was…throughout this book I tried to piece together the puzzle pieces, but I can’t believe how emotional and disturbing this whole mystery really is! This is a story that will stay with me for a while. Clark masterfully wound puzzle after puzzle amongst her words, keeping the reader guessing and flipping through the pages wanting to find the answers about what happened in this very complex mystery.

The narration was excellent!!
