Publisher's summary

A gripping story of friendship and murder from acclaimed author Margot Hunt—created as an immersive audio experience!

Tessa and Charlie have been best friends since childhood. Now Tessa is a famous travel writer who documents her adventures on social media while Charlie rarely leaves the safety of her home, living in fear after narrowly escaping a vicious attack years earlier. But despite their different lives, their bond of friendship remains unbreakable...even in death.

When Tessa is found murdered in her luxurious French Quarter hotel, the New Orleans police go down the wrong trail. Knowing the killer is still out there, Charlie must do the unthinkable in order to solve the crime: face her fears and step outside her comfort zone. She starts her own social media channel, hoping to find someone who saw Tessa on the night she was killed, and travels to New Orleans to investigate Tessa’s final days—all the while knowing that the killer may come for her too.

This twisty, harrowing thriller will remind you that even in our most frightening moments, we can somehow summon the courage to survive.

Fun story

It's just a nice quick fun story. Very predictable, but the characters are well designed, and more than make up for that. It would be nice to see the investigating "team" in another story.

The plot

It had the potential to be a good story, but they killed off the more likeable character and it was so soon, we didn't have time to enjoy her enough. The story was drawn out too long with not enough plot twists. it was a very calm read for a true crime story.

Listened to all her books and this one was an audible original. It was ok, but not anything I will remember.

A Different Story Twist

A good fun summer read. Strong enough as a mystery. I Liked the added dog element. We need sequels.
