Burn After Reading

A ghostwriter is locked in an interview room with a man who might be a murderer, as a gripping mystery thriller from the bestselling author of 56 Days and The Trap. The narrative follows Emily, an inexperienced ghostwriter who agrees to help the man tell his side of the story after a deadly fire that claimed his wife years earlier, a tragedy he insists he survived as a hero—only to have questions about Kate’s death persist. With suspicion lingering, Emily discovers that some stories are dangerous to tell. The novel promises taut suspense, clever plotting, and a true-crime feel, crafted by Catherine Ryan Howard, author of 56 Days. The book is set for publication by Random House UK, with 352 pages in paperback, and the title has been promoted alongside the author’s recent works, including the mentioned title now streaming on Prime Video.

This standalone mystery delves into guilt, truth, and the power of storytelling, exploring how a writer’s craft can uncover more than a client intends to reveal.
