What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
'We're not famous anymore. We're notorious.'
For over a decade, the Lancasters were celebrity royalty, with millions tuning in every week to watch their reality show, Living with the Lancasters.
But then an old video emerges of one of their legendary parties. Suddenly, they're in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons: witnesses swore they'd seen missing teenager Bradley Wilcox leaving the Lancaster family home on the night of the party, but the video tells a different story
Now true crime investigator and YouTuber Tom Isaac is on the case. He's determined to find out what really happened to Bradley - he just needs to read between the Lancasters' lies . . .
Because when the cameras are always rolling, it won't be long until someone cracks.

Critics Review
-
To say this book was a compelling page-turner would be a criminal understatement. It’s a novel you inhale and marvel at as you fly through page after gripping page. A total stunner
B.P Walter, bestselling author of THE DINNER GUEST
-
I think L.C. North has invented the Celebrity Meltdown Thriller! Clickbait is a hugely enjoyable blast of fresh air. Murder, monster egos and vanity. Great stuff!
Emma Curtis, author of THE BABYSITTER
-
Told through mixed media, Clickbait kept me turning the pages to find out what happened to missing teenager, Bradley Wilcox. Masterfully plotted and told with verve and humour, this clever and compelling story was made for TV. Bravo
Jo Callaghan, author of IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
-
A must for fans of reality TV or true crime - compelling and page-turning with some shocking twists along the way. Loved it

An utterly gripping thriller that explores the addictiveness of reality TV in today’s society, and the lengths some people will go to in order to achieve fame. Whip-smart and incisive, I couldn’t put this book down.
Nikki Smith, author of THE BEACH PARTY

A look at the dark side of fame, it's a 21st-century morality tale
Daily Mail, 'Fiction to Look Out for in 2024'

Dark, devious and totally addictive! I was hooked from the very first page all the way to the gloriously unexpected end. L.C. North has written her best book yet!
Lesley Kara, bestselling author of THE RUMOUR

Clever, convincing, topical and original, Clickbait deserves to be HUGE
Charlotte Duckworth, author of THE WRONG MOTHER

Dark and sly, propulsive and smart. It deserves all the stars
L.V. Matthews, author of THE TWINS
-
Clickbait dazzles with a brilliant setting (a reality TV show), compelling characterisation (a ruthlessly ambitious family) and brilliant mixed-media narrative including a true crime podcast, social media posts & reality TV “confessionals”. A totally original psychological thriller!
Philippa East, author of LITTLE WHITE LIES
