In this thriller by New York Times bestselling author Christina Baker Kline and Anne Burt, the search for a missing influencer leads a fan and a journalist into the dark heart of online obsession.
Millions online watch Isabel Hollister create the perfect life from her farmhouse kitchen. The beloved influencer serves up vintage recipes, soft‑spoken wisdom, and a radical promise: women can define fulfillment on their own terms. Then, during a live stream, Isabel begins to reveal a secret. The camera jolts. A scream rings out. The feed goes dark.
Isabel has vanished.
Lonely follower Ashley Goodwin, certain she witnessed a crime, rallies an online community of fans determined to uncover the truth. In New York City, cash‑strapped journalist Megan Sinclair sees the disappearance as a chance to revive her career, even if it means returning to Crystal River, where she barely survived a notorious murder spree.
As Ash and Megan dig deeper, they uncover rival influencers, hidden relationships, suspicious deaths, and a woman whose carefully crafted online persona may have concealed a far more dangerous reality.
Everyone thought they knew Isabel. Everyone was wrong.
