The Ghostwriter (2025)
Julie Clark
"I love all of Julie Clark's books and The Ghostwriter is at the top of that list! Expertly plotted and exquisitely twisted... Julie Clark masterfully weaves together a daughter's long-held suspicions and her father's deadly secrets with the tragic events from the past. The Ghostwriter kept me turning pages in this suspenseful search for the truth."
