INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER
The #tradwife murder mystery we’ve all been waiting for. From the bestselling author of The Sicilian Inheritance and the creator of the Under the Influence podcast comes an explosive thriller about two estranged friends, a grisly murder, a sudden disappearance, and the truly shocking revelation that everyone is lying to you about something . . .
Lizzie and Bex were best friends in college. After graduation, Bex vanished, leaving Lizzie confused and devastated.
Fifteen years later, Bex is now Rebecca Sommers, a “traditional” Instagram influencer with millions of followers who salivate over her perfect life on her ranch with her five children and handsome husband, Gray. Lizzie is a struggling magazine writer, watching reels while her young children demand her attention.
One night out of the blue, Bex calls Lizzie with a career-making proposition—an exclusive interview with her about her multimillion-dollar business venture and an invitation to MomBomb, the high-profile influencing conference.
At the conference, Bex goes missing and Gray is found brutally murdered on their ranch. Lizzie finds herself plunged into the dark side of the cutthroat world of social media that includes jealousy, sordid affairs, swingers, and backstabbing. She must learn who her old friend has become and who she has double-crossed to try to find her, clear her name, and maybe even save her life.
Piazza’s master storytelling and razor-sharp insight into the world of social media brings us a pulpy, juicy, and cleverly plotted read that will have you guessing all the way through and leave you gasping for more.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Piazza's darkly entertaining latest (after The Sicilian Inheritance) revolves around the mysterious disappearance of a social media star. College BFFs Bex and Lizzie haven't spoken in almost 14 years. Then Lizzie, who's now a journalist, receives an Instagram DM from Bex, who has rebranded as "Rebecca" and become a successful lifestyle influencer with six kids and a wealthy husband. Rebecca invites Lizzie to join her at MomBomb, a conference for female influencers, and Lizzie accepts. After a night of drinking and catching up, Rebecca hints that she's holding onto a major secret. The next morning, Lizzie wakes up to the news that Rebecca and her children are missing, and Rebecca's husband, Grayson, has been murdered. Lizzie takes on the challenge of figuring out what happened, with hopes of both revitalizing her stagnant reporting career and finding her friend alive. Along the way, her investigation is helped and hindered by other influencers who try to exploit the tragedy for their own gain. Piazza's ideas about the hollowness of social media aren't particularly trenchant, but she wrings surprising poignancy out of Rebecca's secret plight. If the final act contains perhaps one too many twists, readers are unlikely to mind. This delivers the goods.
