‘A hugely entertaining character who is wry, gossipy and completely
compelling. Full of twists and turns worthy of a classic mystery novel’
ALEX MICHAELIDES, author of The Silent Patient
‘Gripping . . . with a wonderful detective readers will be dying to meet again’
SOPHIE HANNAH
How to put a positive spin on a murder mystery…
Meet our narrator: witty, nosy, a professional weaver of lies – aka ghostwriter for the rich
and famous – and now, lander of The Dream Assignment (that is, a politician’s tell-all
memoir).
Enter Dorothy Gibson: recently toppled Presidential C andidate, aka that woman, the most
talked-about person in the country right now… for all the wrong reasons.
Add — an invitation to the middle of nowhere, one well-heeled neighbour dying under
Suspicious C ircumstances, a secret investigation — and an unreasonably beautiful man.
The result — a story even our ghostwriter wasn’t expecting. And for once, it’s all hers…
