What to expect

The Girl on the Train meets the world of social media in this psychological thriller about influencer culture, parasocial relationships, and the secrets we keep from those we love most.

Molly Sullivan is used to sharing intimate details of her life with millions of followers. A thirty-one-year-old single mom, she has built a career out of fearless posts about parenthood and dating. But when Molly shares a photo of her new fiancé, Scott, she is shocked by his negative reaction. For the sake of their relationship, Molly agrees to remove the post and keep Scott and his ten-year-old daughter out of her social media spotlight.

But it’s too late, someone has already recognized him. Liv Barrett is certain Scott’s the man who killed her sister and disappeared with her infant niece nine years ago. The police don’t believe her, so Liv takes matters into her own hands. After driving cross-country to Molly’s town, Liv uses her social media posts to orchestrate “accidental” meetings, slowly gaining Molly’s trust. Meanwhile, newlywed Molly begins to unpack boxes in her new home and discovers her husband has been lying about his past.

While Molly and Liv uncover secrets that have been buried deep for almost a decade, they have no idea that someone else saw the photo of Scott—someone who poses a threat more dangerous than either of them can imagine. Someone who is watching them from the shadows.

Critics Review

“Chilling and propulsive—and a devastating cautionary tale about the passion for fame and the dangers of sharing on social media. The oh-so-talented Bradeigh Godfrey weaponizes our easy access to information and our ability to connect—and twists it relentlessly into a compulsive and provocative thriller about obsession for family, unintended consequences, and revenge. I could not put this down! The Followers is not to be missed.”

Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author

“The Followers is a thriller that will keep you guessing right up to the end. Everyone has a secret, and I couldn’t stop reading until they were all uncovered. Bradeigh Godfrey has created characters that will stay with you for a long time.” 

Samantha Downing, internationally bestselling author of My Lovely Wife

“Bradeigh Godfrey hits another home run with her newest thriller The Followers. A tense reflection on social media influencers, privacy, and buried secrets, it will keep you up, turning pages, late into the night. And just like with social media, Godfrey will take what you know and turn it on its head. A devilishly fun ride!”

Julie Clark, New York Times bestselling author

“Bradeigh Godfrey returns with The Followers, a cat-and-mouse page-turner that will have you reconsidering your own social media footprint. When a popular influencer posts a photo with her brand new husband, she has no idea of his hidden past, or the dangers her post will bring to their doorstep. A chilling and whip-smart look at the dark side of the digital world—absolutely binge-worthy.”

Kimberly Belle, internationally bestselling author of The Personal Assistant

“The Followers is a riveting mystery about a social media influencer whose perfect love story devolves into a nightmare of deadly secrets. With timely themes, a breakneck pace, and hairpin twists, I tore through the pages. Bradeigh Godfrey is a talent!”

Robyn Harding, internationally bestselling author of The Drowning Woman
