What to expect

A genre-bending story told entirely through interviews about a reality TV crime show that follows a missing girl in America: Cara Hunter meets Serial by way of The Appeal.

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?

Critics Review

A must for all true-crime documentary fans - clever, original and intricate with a brilliant twist and highly believable yet flawed characters. Unputdownable.
Catherine Cooper, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chalet
If you enjoy true crime and crime fiction, then you will absolutely HAVE to binge-read this! Still reeling from the twists... and that final page! Can't wait to discuss this with people.
Alice Hunter, author of The Serial Killer’s Wife
What a ride. Clever, gripping & terrifyingly plausible, it takes true-crime obsession to a horrifying conclusion. Loved it.
Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things
I've just finished reading Kill Show and I'm so bloody excited about it. The plotting! The twists! Prepare to be obsessed. It's about a missing girl, and a reality TC show, and a police investigation. And you just won't be able to put it down.
Laura Pearson
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
Peterborough Telegraph
Like the much-lauded Daisy Jones & The Six, the story here unfolds in interview form . . . provocative and gripping
Heat book of the week
a vibrant, craftily entertaining novel
Irish Times
