The Ghostwriter Reviews

3.5
“A new thriller coming soon. I received this book as an arc. Poppy is a single mother who's struggling as a ghostwriter. Her sister hooks her up with a friend, Sylvie. Boy does Sylvie have stories to tell of her criminal past with her ex boyfriend who is now locked up. Get ready to buckle up for this ride. The twist and turns that you never see coming. The compassion you feel for Polly and Sylvie are relentless. Just when you've read it all the ending blows you away. A wonderful thriller!”
““The Ghostwriter” by Sarah Sheridan was a book by an author I hadn’t read before. The author introduces us to the characters so that the reader really gets to know them before all hell breaks loose! You often ask yourself “Why? Why are you going there with complete strangers with no contact or help from your real family and friends? Are you that deluded?!” I could recognise as soon as a certain character was “released” into the story that they were bad news, despite putting on a good act (to start with) of being changed for the better! A slow burner but the last few chapters had me quickly turning the pages to discover the outcome and happiness of the good characters. A good read.”
“I enjoyed reading the story from the beginning until the end. I loved all twists and turns in the story that kept me turning the pages. This is the first book by Sarah Sheridan and it won't be my last one.”
