Olivia has spent her whole adult life hiding the fact that she is the daughter of Vincent Taylor, famous horror author and suspected murderer. But with his health deteriorating and with one more story to tell, Vincent requests that Olivia ghostwrite his next book. With few prospects on the horizon Olivia feels she must accept and is swept up in the whirlwind story of what happened to her aunt and uncle 50 years ago on the night they were murdered. 

Wow. Just wow. 
This one was so good! I was swept up into the story from page one and could not put this down! I loved the way it was told, a jumble of broken memories and flashbacks to the past. Everything kept you guessing at what really happened as the story went on, allowing you to formulate theories and then unraveling them as you go. Some parts I started to guess at while other parts came as a total surprise. 
This story was just so well told that I couldn’t help but get wrapped up in it pages!
