Summary

A dark and gripping thriller.

One missing girl. Two million suspects.

Ruby is a vlogger, a rising star of YouTube and a heroine to millions of teenage girls. And she's missing.... But she's an adult - nothing to worry about, surely. Until the video's uploaded...Ruby, in the dirt, pleading for her life.

Enter Detective Inspector Kate Riley: the Met's rising star and the head of a new team of investigators with the best resources money can buy. Among them Detective Sergeant Zain Harris, the poster boy for multiracial policing. But can Kate wholly trust him? And, more importantly, can she trust herself around him?

As hysteria builds amongst the press and Ruby's millions of fans, Kate and her team are under pressure to get results, and fast, but as they soon discover, the world of YouTube vloggers and social media is much darker than anyone could have imagined.

5***** Excellent book

Finally a relatable 21st century crime thriller, looking forward to the next one. Brilliant debut novel by Alex Caan. Would definitely recommend.

Throwing in the towel at chapter 16.

Any additional comments?

I have reached chapter 16 and I have decided to return this book. It is not well written (relentless use of 'he said', 'she said'), the characters are not, up to chapter 16, showing any signs of being fleshed out, and what could so well be a engaging story given the subject matter, is leaving me completely bored. There are some good reviews, so maybe I'm missing something, but I embrace the philosophy of 'so many books, so little time', so I'm off to start one I will enjoy.

enjoyable enough thriller

great narration, but could have done without the abrupt music. In terms of story it was an enjoyable enough thriller- not the best writing (constant 'he said', 'she said' was grating) and characters
one dimensional. Kept me intrigued though.

Glad it's over

Was a struggle to get to the end. Uninspired writing and the narrators voicings were grating.
Glad to have finished with it. Wasn't bad enough to throw away but probably not good enough to have put on in the first place.
