The murders in 1975 of teens Poppy and Danny, Vince’s brother and sister, continue to haunt him his entire life. He had an alibi, but many still think he killed them including, at times, his estranged daughter. The fact that he became a famous author of horror novels only intensified the suspicion that he was evil. The truth is supposed to finally be revealed when he hires his daughter Olivia, who is a famous ghost writer, to write his memoir. But Vince is suffering from Lewy body dementia, and his memories are at times suspect. Olivia finds diaries written by Poppy, she finds 8-track films of arguments between Vince and Danny, she interviews people who were there at the time and are still alive, and the answer to who might be guilty switches daily. The Ghostwriter is full of family drama, teenage trauma and angst, and unreliable narrators, and you will not want to stop until you finally know the truth about who killed Poppy and Danny – or at least the truth that Vince and Olivia want to be known.
