My thoughts
I loved this author's book THE LIES I TELL, and this one is even better. I devoured it.
This one had me guessing all the way through every time I thought I had it figured out something else happened and I WAS SO WRONG. I didn't know until the end. Or know as much as it allowed us to know.
Olivia is on the verge of losing everything. She was a successful writer who asked the wrong question at the wrong time. It was hard enough being a female in the writing world, but to call out a male for anything just ruined your career. He sued. She has to pay. She's broke.... Until she gets the call to ghostwrite a memoir. Not just any memoir either. Her father's memoir.
Back in 1975 two siblings were murdered in their family home. Their parents were out and the middle child, a brother, was with his girlfriend. Someone murdered Danny and Poppy Taylor and people have always believed it was Vincent. Olivia's father. A successful author himself. Did he do this heinous thing or was it a stranger? Could he have done it and if so why?
This story takes you back to the 1970s. The way kids were back then. Running free and being brave. Having bon fires. Living the good life. Until tragedy hits. You'll find throughout this story bits and pieces to make you have many guesses. You'll have enough to think you have solved the murders. Until the end when you find out what probably happened. Ok, you don't get a strong finality but you do get closure. At least I feel like I did. I loved the ending. It was very emotional. It was just the right kind of ending.
This book touches on rape and molestation. It was not strongly written about. Not where you should have a hard time reading it. Just know that it happened. Just enough and not too much.
I enjoyed reading this book so much. It is a page turner for sure. It had everything I love in a good thriller. Thrills of course. Some romance. Family. Drama. Oh boy the drama. And of course murder with a who done it twist. Also reunion of daughter and father. That was a good part for sure.
Thank you to the publisher for this ARC.

About
June, 1975.
The Taylor family shatters in a single night when two teenage siblings are found dead in their own home. The only surviving sibling, Vincent, never shakes the whispers and accusations that he was the one who killed them. Decades later, the legend only grows as his career as a horror writer skyrockets.
Ghostwriter Olivia Dumont has spent her entire professional life hiding the fact that she is the only child of Vincent Taylor. Now on the brink of financial ruin, she's offered a job to ghostwrite her father's last book. What she doesn't know, though, is that this project is another one of his lies. Because it's not another horror novel he wants her to write.
After fifty years of silence, Vincent Taylor is finally ready to talk about what really happened that night in 1975.
