The premise: Olivia is a ghostwriter whose career has gone off track until she gets an offer to write the memoir for best-selling horror novelist Vincent Taylor. Olivia is reluctant but with mounting debt and exile from the industry she loves, there is no other option than to take the job. However, Vincent Taylor isn’t just a best-selling horror novelist, he is Olivia’s estranged father who was suspected of murdering his teenage siblings in 1975 after they were found dead and the memoir, he wants to write is the truth about what happened.
The dual timeline and multiple POVs add layers to this slow-burn mystery. The pacing was a bit sluggish in the middle, but the secrets and twists had me guessing until the end. This was a solid 4.25 ⭐read! Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for the advance reader copy
