Many thanks to NetGalley, Soho Crime and RB Media for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the debut book by Kate Brody, the audiobook wonderfully narrated by Rebecca Quinn Robertson - 4 stars!
Ten years ago, Teddy's older sister, Angie, went missing and has never been found., Her family never recovered and now her father, Mark, has died by suicide. The family didn't know it, but Mark had been involved with a Reddit community investigating Angie's disappearance and it led him down many bad roads. Teddy now finds herself following those same roads. She gets involved with Mickey, a young girl obsessed with Angie's case, and soon her personal and professional life are in shambles.
Don't go into this one thinking it's a true crime book that will be wrapped up neatly in the end. It's more of a look into a family's grief after a tragedy and how everyone is affected. I loved the title and can only imagine how easy it would be these days to go down the online rabbit holes of social media when a family member is missing. All those theories and conspiracies from people that have no clue would drive you crazy. I thought the writing in this debut was great - I just think readers need to know better what the book is about. I can't wait to read more from this author.
