It’s an offer Grace Logan can’t refuse: ghostwrite the memoir of Claudia Blackwell, a successful novelist once accused of a ghastly triple murder. Did she really do it? In self-imposed exile in her island mansion, the frail Claudia is finally bringing her notorious past to a close. But for Grace, the end of Claudia’s story may be more than a sinister reveal…

I wanted to like this.

I wanted to like this as I'm a Loreth Anne White fan (having only read her books). The plot was predictable from the start, but I can deal with that, my main issue was the narrator. Her voice was VERY soft when representing other characters and I had to turn up the volume almost full force to hear her. I felt that this could have been done better.

Atmospheric Thriller

This was an atmospheric thriller about a Ghost Writer who has to be talked into working with a notorious killer who is ill and about to pass. Loved the setting and atmospheric touches, though I did figure out the twist. Narration was fitting, but too quiet in several places.

Twists and turns

I liked the twisty way it was written. It was atmospheric and that added suspense. I had to warm up to the narrator a bit but really enjoyed it !!

Too simplistic

A good short story that should have been more flushed out with very thin characters.

So Much in This Short Story

What a creepy short story. So much packed into 65 pages. Ms White is an amazing storyteller has become a fast favorite for me. And that ending!!! “Checkmate.”

Great short story

I wish this was a full length story! The ending was predictable but I still enjoyed the listen. I just wish it was longer!
