About this audiobook
'Fast-paced, brilliant, and the best kind of scary - the kind that had me pausing only to double-check my locks. Shelley Burr has taken our obsession with influencers, true crime, and online fame and turned it into a smart, action-packed, twisty thriller. Her best yet.' ROSE CARLYLE
'A perfect contemporary thriller that will have you shifting suspicions to the very end ... Clickbait has never looked so terrifying' DARCY TINDALE
A murder is witnessed by thousands, but who pulled the trigger?
Dahlia and Duncan Crews are rich, famous, glamorous - they share their lifestyle and picture-perfect family with hundreds of thousands of online subscribers. The Crews have it all - until they don't. Shot dead in the middle of a livestream, the couple's teenage daughter, Karma, is the sole survivor. And the prime suspect.
Years later, disgraced true-crime vlogger Jennifer Benedetta is hired to film a cold-case documentary on the unsolved Crews family murders. It's the chance she needs to salvage her reputation, but there's a catch: prove Karma Crews innocent. But something - or someone - is lurking just off camera, and the closer Jennifer gets to the truth, the further she is from safety. Who is watching? And how far will they go to remain unseen?
