Publisher's summary

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: ghostwrite the memoir of Claudia Blackwood, 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…

Loreth Anne White’s The Ghost Writer is part of Never Tell, a heart-pounding collection of stories about secrets, lies, and mind games. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. Just keep the endings to yourself.

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.

Great short story

I love this author! She never disappoints. Always the unexpected and twisted path that takes you there. I’ve read all her books and she does a fantastic job. This is a very dark type story that you’ll enjoy don’t miss out.!

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!

No evil deed goes unpunished!

Oooh, the ending is a real plot twist! Grace had no idea what to expect after being selected to be Claudia's Ghostwriter, especially after learning the previous Ghostwriter died. Odd things are happening, but they aren't without reason.

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.”
