Slow burner of a read this, but it pulled you in as you followed Olivia on her quest to find out what really happened the night her auntie and uncle were killed back in 1975 as she helps her estranged father write his last book.

Lots of red herrings in this but I was pleased I'd worked out who was involved in the killings.

Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to review this book, this is my honest opinion.

Olivia Dumont is hesitatant to agree to ghostwrite the memoirs of a well known author.

One of the reasons is that the author is her father.

Her father's two siblings died and she is sure that this will raise memories that for her father, who is suffering from Lewy body dementia and that he will be unable to cope.

This book is more about Olivias story than it is about her father and I quite liked her. Most of us have been through family trauma and I loved how the covered almost every imagination that could arise with the issues Olivia has gone, and is going through..

An amazing and interesting read..

In desperate financial straits, ghostwriter Olivia Dumont has no choice but to accept her latest commission. However, the job is her estranged father’s memoir; a bestselling author who is now suffering from a neurogenerative illness. Moreover, her father has always been a suspect in the murder of both his siblings in the seventies.

Dealing with both the complex relationship with her father and a fifty-year-old murder case, Olivia must unpick her father’s story through the layers of lies and illness to find the truth.

A compelling and complex mystery for fans of Riley Sager’s The Last One Left and A J Finn’s End of Story.

With many thanks to Netgalley for this free arc and I am leaving this unbiased review voluntarily

The Last Flight and The Lies I Tell were both excellent reads so I was very excited to be able to read her latest. It’s a slow burner to start but the pace and tension eventually start to climb as the book goes on. The characters are all on point and the story is told from different perspectives - none of them 100% reliable and leaves you questioning everything. There is a wonderful film noir atmosphere about the book and it flows beautifully. This is a dark and twisted game played out by father and daughter that culminates in a very good unpredictable ending. Another winner from Julie

You can’t beat a story about an estranged daughter, a famous author father and a life story that has to be told.

This is the story of a ghostwriter who is going through hard times and is hired to ghostwrite a novel for a famous author. There are two problems - the author is her father and she doesn’t do novels. Upon learning that she is actually going to ghostwrite the memories of her father surrounding the death of his two siblings she realises this is a much harder job than she thought.

This is her story of researching her past, her father’s past and coming to terms with his own decline as he suffers from Lewy Body Dementia. There is so much back story in this book and it was a truly enjoyable read.
