A bestselling horror writer employs his estranged daughter to ghostwrite a tell-all memoir about the crime that destroyed his family in this meta psychological suspense. Olivia Dumont has built a career ghostwriting celebrity memoirs; no one knows she’s related to Vincent Taylor. She’s shocked when her agent presents her with an offer to ghostwrite Vince’s next and last book—and even more shocked when she discovers it’s nonfiction. In 1975, Vince’s two siblings were murdered in his home; he was the only surviving child and main suspect, but the case was never solved. Now, working with his daughter, Vince resolves to reveal what really happened. The problem is, he doesn’t know the truth—but Olivia is the only one he trusts to help him figure it out. Suspenseful, twisty, and bursting with family secrets—I couldn’t put this down.

In this absorbing 2020 thriller, two women on opposite coasts are both trying to escape desperate, dangerous men—and do so by switching IDs at JFK airport just before their respective flights. (As one of the women recounts early in the novel, "The only way to get a fake ID is to find someone who’s willing to give you theirs.") I raced through this, enjoying both the plotty ride and the more nuanced musings on identity explored in these pages. Because of how Clark employs voice and perspective in this story, this thriller would be more fun than most to unpack with book club pals.
