Publisher's summary

Every writer has a story. Some are deadlier than others.

Aspiring author Graye Templeton will do anything to escape the horrific childhood crime that haunts her. After a life lived in shadows, she’s accepted a new job as protégé to Laura West, influential book blogger and wife of an acclaimed novelist. Laura’s connections could make Graye’s publishing dreams a reality. But there’s more to Laura than meets the eye. 

Behind the veneer of a charmed life, Laura’s marriage is collapsing. Her once-lauded husband is descending into alcoholism and ruin and bringing Laura nearer to the edge. 

As the two women form a bond that seems meant to be, long-buried secrets claw their way into the present, and the line between friendship and obsession begins to blur, forcing each to decide where her loyalties lie. Running from the past is a dangerous game, and the loser could end up dead.

WOW. one of the best books so far in 2019

First, the summary is doesn’t do it justice. This book is so well written and is executed so perfectly all while weaving stories within the story and keeping it all understandable and easy to follow. There is so much depth and character development. I will come back to this review to elaborate more on this so I can give specifics but for now, I just want it known that this book is legit and I go through several audiobooks weekly and finally after weeks of duds and waiting around for each Tuesday’s new releases, this book takes the cake. Highly recommended!

Forced myself to finish

I am confused and still don’t know who was who. It was not an enjoyable read at all. I ended up listening to it out of frustration but HATED it

Slow moving

This was not her best work. It moved very slow. I almost stopped it several times, but after invested that much time in it, I wanted to see how it ended. The ending of the book was just okay.

interesting read

The Shadow Writer was a great read. it kept me on the edge of my seat and the ending threw me through a loop. If you love psychological thrillers, this is a good one.

I neglected my life for a day! Great story. Maxwell has become an absolute favorite!

Smart and enthralling. Didn't want it to end until a just ending blossomed. Hard to explain what I mean, just read it.
