A reclusive author with a lurid history is ready to divulge her most infamous secret to the world in a chilling short story of Gothic suspense by the bestselling author of The Maid's Diary.
It's an offer Grace Logan can't refuse: ghost-write 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'm a fan of the author and really enjoyed The Ghost Writer. This is quite long for a single story and more like a novella. I thought it was twisted. This is a plus for me as I like my fiction dark and twisted. I had so many questions as I read. Is Claudia a murderess? Why did she choose Grace to be her ghost writer? What really happened the night when three people died? Grace is fascinated with Claudia and her alleged crimes and the reason for this is not clear until the last few pages. I enjoyed this a lot and would recommend it.
