Overview
Ingenious, edgy, and wry, Kemper Donovan’s modern murder mystery pits a ghostwriter-turned-sleuth against a devious killer who’s transforming her new assignment into a real-life thriller . . .
Ghostwriters, just like ghosts, shouldn’t exist. Knowing that the latest juicy memoir was penned by a stranger for a paycheck tends to ruin the illusion of intimacy. But not every ghostwriter is in it for the money alone. For Belle Currer—as the ghostwriter extraordinaire prefers to be known—Genevieve Caraway’s memoir is an irresistible project, a tale of tragedy overcome.
At 14, Genevieve was abducted by a couple and held hostage for three months. She’s now a happily married mother with a flourishing career. Still, the scars haven’t entirely faded. Genevieve’s lavish Utah home, “Sweet Spot,” is a guarded compound impregnable to outsiders—theoretically, at least.
Belle’s arrival coincides with the parole of Deirdre Gregory, one of Genevieve’s kidnappers. When Deirdre shows up at Sweet Spot begging to see Genevieve, she is refused. The next day, Deirdre’s dead body is found on the grounds. How did Deirdre get in? More importantly, who killed her?
Belle soon joins Detective Kay Adams, a pregnant Mormon, in sifting through suspects. The compound is filled with family and friends—and also with secrets, including one the ghostwriter has been carrying for far too long. She knows how emotions can drive people to do unthinkable things. And that no matter how much you try to keep the world at bay, the best and worst of it may find a way to get in . . .
