Description from Amazon:
A ghostwriter is tasked with capturing the
memoirs of a celebrity widely suspected of murder; now she’s locked in an
interview room with a killer and he’s ready to confess... The night Jack Smyth
ran into flames in a desperate attempt to save his wife, he was, tragically,
too late - but hailed a hero. Until it emerged that Kate was dead long before
the fire began.
This is the first book I’ve read by this
author and based on this I wouldn’t read another. The story starts off with a
bang and you are sucked into a situation someone is not getting out of and
might end up dying in horribly. This definitely grabs attention.
Then the book meanders into the weird rules
about how the ghostwriting must take place, Emily’s feelings toward Jack and
her going back and forth between believing him or not, and then the
misdirection the author tries to take us through. Which, unfortunately, is not
difficult to spot.
The characters are 2D and I felt nothing
for any of them. There are huge plot holes in the book that the author tries to
explain but it feels like the explanations are being tacked on. I read the
whole book in hope, but by the end I felt shortchanged.
