Blurb from Goodreads: 

 

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.

 My Review:

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Weapenry Co-Op and NetGalley*

Four years ago, Helena's husband died. She lied to her mother and to the police. A bestselling author, Helena is good at making up stories, and they believed her.

Now, Helena is writing her final book, and in it, she will reveal the truth of what happened.

Will Helena be able to finish the book?

What secrets has she been hiding for the past four years?

The Ghostwriter was my first Alessandra Torre book and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Helena was a prickly character but I liked her anyway. She had a difficult relationship with her mother and it was easy to see why Helena turned out the way she did. I also liked Mark and Kate a lot.

The plot was interesting and held my attention. I was really intrigued as to what had happened in Helena's past and what happened to Simon.

The writing style was engaging and easy to follow.

I liked the mystery aspect of the book and was glad that romance wasn't a big theme.

Overall this was an enjoyable read that I would recommend.
