Description
'A fun, clever read on our obsession with true crime. I loved it' THE OBSERVER
'I raced through Kill Show. Gripping, fast-paced and oh so twisty' LOUISE JENSEN, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE GIFT
THE NATION IS OBSESSED. WHAT HAPPENED TO SARA?
A MISSING GIRL
On a crisp April morning, Sara Parcell disappears without a trace. No one saw a thing.
A NATIONAL OBSESSION
Desperate, her family agree to take part in a reality TV show following Sara's case. Cameras swarm the house. Viewers tune in. The addiction begins...
A HIDDEN AGENDA
As the show gains traction, what began as a small-town crime becomes a global sensation. Everyone who knew Sara is questioned on camera - but the producers want more. Hungry for twists, they delve deeper into the story - and soon, it takes on a life of its own.
Where is Sara? What do her family know? And how far will any of us go to create a good show?

Compelling, Edgy..
The whole nation becomes obsessed with the search for a missing teenager following the involvement of a real time true crime show. Small town interest goes to national and then global as the show gains momentum and the internet blows up. What is the story and how on earth will it pan out? Compelling and utterly involving from the off, the tale unfolds entirely through edgy character interviews and doesn’t let up until the very bitter end. An expose and a condemnation of the worldwide obsession with true crime and, at the same time, an immersive and very creative mystery.

A great pop corn suspense book. Did I guess all the twists. Yes. Did I have an amazing experience reading the book. Yes. Plus I loved the format and think it could be an amazing audio book.
Joanne D, Librarian
This book is so modern and on the money right now
As we are all obsessed with true crime and reality tv.
This story brings both to the fore when a young irl goes missing.
And interview style book the plot is well paced and the mystery
Captivating.
