''A fun, clever read on our obsession with true crime. I loved it'' THE OBSERVER
''I raced through Kill Show. Gripping, fast-paced and oh so twisty'' LOUISE JENSEN, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE GIFT

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 g

Trade 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 *
