Thought I knew what happened but I was quite surprised.  The last sentence of the book is a bit haunting.  Fiction.  But will it always be?   How long before reality shows become too real?

Remember the Sara Parcell case? She’s the 16-year-old girl who went missing in Maryland about ten years ago. There was that docuseries, Searching for Sara, that EVERYONE was watching and talking about. And of course, you remember what happened and how it ended.

But now Kill Show fills in details we never heard - ten years later, 26 people who were close to the case agreed to be interviewed. I could not put this book down once I started. Thank you Harper for the gifted book to review!

(PS - if you’re trying to remember the case and the series, it’s actually fiction. But what a great premise, right? It’s out in October but preorder or get your library hold in now!!)
