The Ghostwriter by A.R. Torre

Four years ago, I lied. I stood in front of the police, my friends and family, and made up a story, my best one yet. And all of them believed me.

I wasn't surprised. Telling stories is what made me famous. Fifteen bestsellers. Millions of fans. Fame and fortune.

Now, I have one last story to write. It'll be my best one yet, with a jaw-dropping twist that will leave them stunned and gasping for breath.

They say that sticks and stones will break your bones, but this story? It will be the one that kills me.

This was an audiobook read for me.

It took me a bit to get into this story with all the different povs. With a print copy you can differentiate between characters and time lines, so it took a little to connect and feel the rhythm. I won’t even scary anyone off with the different timelines and voices. Once I got that this story took off.

It was mysterious waiting to discover what happened 4 years ago. A slow burn that detailed Helena’s career as an author, her relationship with spouse, daughter, mother and even rival author. At one point I found it hard to listen to more (sorry can’t say more), it was sad and a tad depressing but then the twist came - wow did not anticipate that at all.

Though I have been behind on my reviews I really feel the need to get this one done so I can try and forget about it, suffice to say it might stay with me for a bit.
