So I’ve come to the conclusion that Julie Clark cannot write a bad book (please don’t prove me wrong after this book-Lol 🤣). This is my third read by the author, and I’ve enjoyed each and every one of them. I wouldn’t say this book is super suspenseful or twisty, but it sure held my interest enough that I did not want to put this book down once I started reading it.

Ghostwriter Olivia Dumont, who is struggling financially receives an offer to ghostwrite her father’s last book. Olivia has been estranged from her father for 20 years, and hasn’t been back to her childhood home in nearly 30 years. Her father, Vincent Taylor is a famous horror author ✍️. Not only is Vincent a famous horror author, but he is also accused of killing his two siblings 50 years prior��

Upon reconnecting, Olivia learns that her father’s health and memory is declining. So can Olivia really believe everything that her father is telling her? Olivia decides to go off on her own personal treasure hunt to try and put the pieces of her aunt and uncle’s 50 year old murder mystery together, and to finish her father’s final book.

This book held my attention as we got multiple POV’s from Olivia, Vincent, and Poppy. This book also went back to 1975 when the murders took place, and I feel that it was done perfectly (but what do I know, I was only two years old back then 🤷🏻‍♀��). My only gripe is that this book seemed to go in circles a little bit, or maybe drag on. Regardless, I still highly recommend reading this.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Sourcebooks Landmark, and the author for an ARC of this book which I had the pleasure of reading. All opinions are my own.
