________________________________
A deliciously dark and twisted debut about family secrets, true crime, and destructive obsession – by a striking new talent
Teddy Angstrom is no stranger to morbid public interest in her family’s tragedies. And when her father dies suddenly, ten years to the day after her sister Angie’s disappearance, she intends to maintain as much privacy as she always has.
Clearing out her father’s office, however, Teddy discovers her father’s double life: a decade-long investigation into wild conspiracies from a Reddit community of true crime fans fixated on Angie. Repelled and compelled in equal measure by this new online dimension, Teddy finds herself falling down that same rabbit hole.
So when nineteen-year-old Mickey, a charming amateur internet sleuth, materialises in real life, Teddy determines that the two of them are going to team up to find out what really happened to Angie – and whether there’s any chance she might still be alive.
But as she struggles to reconcile new information with old memories, Teddy doesn’t notice that her obsession is making her increasingly self-destructive. And she’s in way over her head before she’s realises that Mickey, too, is not all she seems…
Noirish, haunting and razor-sharp, as compulsive as a late-night Reddit binge, Rabbit Hole is an unforgettable debut about violence, family and grief.
'A smart and edgy mystery that kept me turning pages from start to finish' Alexis Schaitkin
‘I absolutely loved this book … I couldn't put it down’ Ainslie Hogarth
'An unputdownable debut from a writer I would follow anywhere' Allie Rowbottom

Critics Review
A twisty, pacy crime thriller with wit and unusual plotlines ... Has some telling things to say about the voyeuristic and entitled nature of fetishistic true crime fans
A compelling study of grief, betrayal, the slippery nature of memory and our complicated relationship with other people’s tragedies
While very much a thriller-style hunt for what happened, Brody’s debut is more accurately a sensitive, psychological investigation into the long-term, traumatic impact of lingering, unresolved grief
Kate Brody’s debut has all the trappings of a true crime podcast ... A gritty, grubby tale of grief, family secrets and addiction
An excellent read
A brilliant, dark debut about grief and the way in which the internet can magnify mania
A searing portrayal of loss, adolescence, and grief with all the twists and turns of a thriller. Teddy is a fantastically compelling narrator and her relationship with Mickey is twisted yet perfectly believable. I tore through this in a few days - a mindblowing debut
A page-turner in the best sense, the most startling aspect of this brilliantly accomplished novel is that it’s Brody’s debut outing
Kate Brody and her writing will hold you by the throat until you finish the last page breathless in need of a lie down in a dark room. I was OBSESSED!
A thrilling mystery
In this smart, chilling page-turner, a high school English teacher obsessed with her older sister's long-ago disappearance gets caught up in Reddit conspiracy theories
A dark, absorbing evocation of grief, loss and strained familial ties, painfully capturing how damaging the search for answers can be on the survivors of tragedy. A page-turner in the best sense, the most startling aspect of this brilliantly accomplished novel is that it’s Brody’s debut outing
A beautifully written and astutely observed literary thriller
For anyone who's ever indulged in a late-night Reddit binge or has found themselves in the amateur sleuthing vortex of true crime junkies, Rabbit Hole follows a woman who becomes obsessed with solving the cold-case disappearance of her older sister
I fell down Rabbit Hole in an obsessive spiral ... It’s a pitch-black story about ambiguous loss, and a blazingly feminist take on the self-destructive pull of the internet. And it’s poignant. And it’s unflinching. And that ending! Kate Brody is a star
A smart and edgy mystery that kept me turning pages feverishly from start to finish ... This is a story about girlhood, grief, the slippery nature of memory, and our society’s true crime obsession, and Brody delivers insights on these themes in prose that is both raw and beautiful. As we follow Teddy on her downward spiral, we are forced to ask: How much is the truth worth?
From the first line, Brody’s novel had its hands around my throat. While Rabbit Hole has the pace and intrigue of a thriller, and brutal and evocative prose, what makes it standout is its narrator, Brody’s refusal to soften her edges or portray her as anything less than a young woman savaged by grief. I followed breathlessly along, both wishing I could stop Teddy’s Internet-fueled descent into madness and eagerly awaiting the next dark, delicious corner she’d lead me
I absolutely loved this book. Rabbit Hole is an unflinching portrait of grief and obsession, as well as a genuinely gripping mystery. The characters feel raw and real, the story is dark and timely. I couldn't put it down
Blistering, sexy, concentric and dark, Rabbit Hole is the ultimate literary thriller for the digital age, a Reddit whodunnit that is at once hyper-modern, and grounded by the deep emotionality of Kate Brody's enduring questions about grief and girlhood, caretaking and identity and how, in the absence of truth, to live a meaningful life. An unputdownable debut from a writer I would follow anywhere
A troubling mystery rustles its feathers beneath Brody's gritty, gorgeous prose. Brody shows how the internet bewitches us, how we seek it out looking for an escape but instead are confronted by our own shadow-selves. Tense and engrossing
Kate Brody’s multifaceted debut combines sensitive characterization, wry narration, and use of modern technology worthy of Jennifer Egan with the brilliantly evocative suspense of a Tana French novel…I was riveted!

A witty and moving exploration of grief and obsession as well as a page-turning mystery, Rabbit Hole sucked me in more than any Reddit conspiracy theory thread ever could
A taut story of family and letting secrets go
Full of twists and surprises, genuine mystery and startling psychological portraits, Rabbit Hole is a profound exploration into the nature of grief and identity. It is also an unsettling investigation into the shadowy line that separates the real world from the digital
Brody's debut is visceral and at times gut-wrenching, exploring the ways grief and a need for answers can be exacerbated and exploited by a culture obsessed with true-crime stories. Powerful and unforgettable
Brody’s sure-footed debut paints a harrowing portrait of a life derailed by internet conspiracy theories ... Brody explores in elegant prose potent themes both contemporary (internet addiction) and evergreen (grief)
