The Garden City Public Library team is preparing to post all the Library’s great events and activities to social media!
Join us in the Small Meeting Room on Tuesday, January 20, at 7:00 PM as we discuss the book The Ghostwriter, by Julie Clark.
From the instant New York Times best-selling author of The Last Flight and The Lies I Tell comes a dazzling new thriller. The Taylor family shatters in a single night when two teenage siblings are found dead in their own home. The only surviving sibling, Vincent, never shakes the whispers and accusations that he was the one who killed them. Ghostwriter Olivia Dumont has spent her entire professional life hiding the fact that she is the only child of Vincent Taylor. Now on the brink of financial ruin, she’s offered a job to ghostwrite her father’s last book. After 50 years of silence, Vincent Taylor is finally ready to talk about what really happened that night in 1975.
Books are available in the Adult Reference Department, as well through the Nassau Digital Doorway’s Libby.
