What to expect
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?

A must for all true-crime documentary fans - clever, original and intricate with a brilliant twist and highly believable yet flawed characters. Unputdownable.

Easily one of my top reads of the year. Intelligent, poignant, and propulsive. I devoured it! Where do we draw the line between entertainment and integrity? Or are we already past it?
Liv Matthews, author of The Twins
-
A fun, clever twist on our obsession with true crime. I loved it.
The Observer (The New Review)
-
I raced through Kill Show. Gripping, fast-paced and oh so twisty.
Louise Jensen, bestselling author of The Gift
-
Riveting, original, and chillingly plausible, Kill Show is both an urgent reckoning with the ethics of true crime and a tense, twisty mystery in its own right. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.
Flynn Berry, Edgar Award-Winning Author of Northern Spy
-
A truly modern morality play, in a unique and compelling style, that reflects on the uncomfortable connections between greed, ambition, and violence. Kill Show takes a sleepy, suburban town and turns it into a true-crime battlefield as events careen out of control. Smart, twisty, satisfying.
Andrew Gross, New York Times bestselling author
-
Frequent foreshadowing fosters tension and drive, while keenly rendered characters with distinct voices and unique perspectives add dimension and verisimilitude. . . . .Sweren-Becker delivers a riveting work of fiction that doubles as scathing social commentary about America's true-crime obsession.
Kirkus Reviews

If there is one subject that causes moral division, it's true crime . . . [this] is front and centre in this provocative and gripping novel
Crime Monthly

This is a different approach to a crime novel . . .[an] explosive success
