book cover of The Ghostwriter by Julie Clark

"The Ghostwriter" by Julie Clark.

"In June 1975, the Taylor family is shattered when two teenage siblings are found dead, leaving Vincent as the only survivor and prime suspect. Decades later, Vincent becomes a famous horror writer, while his daughter, Olivia Dumont, hides her identity. Facing financial ruin, Olivia is offered a job to ghostwrite her father's last book, only to discover it's not a horror novel but the true story of what happened that night in 1975." - NoveList Plus.

book cover of Gone Before Goodbye by Reese Witherspoon and Harlan Coben

"Gone Before Goodbye" by Reese Witherspoon and Harlan Coben.

"Maggie McCabe has always lived life at the edge, and it was all going to plan until a series of tragedies led to her medical license being revoked. Maggie is thrown a lifeline by a former colleague, an elite plastic surgeon whose anonymous clientele demand absolute discretion along with the best care money can buy. When one of the world’s most mysterious men requires unconventional medical assistance, Maggie - one of the few surgeons in the world skilled enough to take the job - fulfills her end of the agreement. But when the patient suddenly disappears while still under her care, Maggie must become a fugitive herself - or she will be the next one who is… gone before goodbye." - NoveList Plus.
