'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?
