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.
