This month we’re chatting about: The Ghostwriter by Ron Currie
($29.00 – Book club price: $26.10 – Hardcover, 368 pp)

From Julie Clark, New York Times bestselling author of The Lies I Tell and The Last Flight, comes this dazzling new thriller that blends family secrets, literary intrigue, and the haunting weight of long-buried truth.

It begins in June 1975, when the Taylor family is torn apart by unthinkable tragedy: two teenage siblings are found dead, and the only survivor, Vincent Taylor, becomes the prime suspect. Decades later, he’s a famed horror author with a shadowy past—and a daughter determined to outrun it.

Olivia Dumont has built her career as a ghostwriter while hiding her true identity: she’s Vincent’s only child. Estranged from her father and facing financial ruin, Olivia reluctantly agrees to ghostwrite his final book. But this time, it’s not fiction. Vincent is ready to break fifty years of silence—and Olivia will be the one to write the truth about what really happened that night.

Perfect for readers that love their thrillers layered with psychological tension, moral ambiguity, and shocking revelations, The Ghostwriter asks: can the truth set you free, or only deepen the scars?

Early readers will also love the limited sprayed edge first edition—a collector’s gem as gripping on the outside as it is on the page. This is a haunting, propulsive read that lingers long after the final chapter… and begs to be talked about!
