The Wife's Secret
The perfect ghost writer is silent, unassuming…
… and knows which secrets are worth keeping
I’d hoped my screen-writing career would have taken off by now, anything to stop me from dealing with yet another jumped-up celebrity who thinks their story is worth telling.
But when my agent tells me which celeb wants me to write their memoir. Well, I can’t deny my interest is piqued.
Blythe Hopper, former Hollywood star. An Oscar winner, no less.
But more famous recently for shooting her husband. One shot between the eyes.
It’s the best story! But I must admit, I have a different reason to want to visit her beautiful Hampstead mansion.
You see, her husband emailed me. Says he has answers to questions I’ve asked my entire life. The only trouble is, the email was sent two days after he was already dead.
A ghost. Just like me.
So if Blythe wants to tell all, I’m going to make sure I’m the one she talks to.
