The Influencer

A deeply compulsive psychological suspense novel about the dangers lurking beneath the world of social media, for fans of Lesley Kara and Cara Hunter.

Fiona Hart is a social media queen. She makes her living by posting images of her ‘perfect’ life to her fans, but Fiona’s life is a sham. She’s in debt, her relationship is sour, and the upkeep of her fake world is exhausting.

In a desperate attempt to change, Fiona reaches out to Danielle Farley, a once famous actress and the founder of a missing children’s charity. Danielle’s own teenage daughter, Samantha, disappeared five years ago, but with no leads the high profile case was soon forgotten.

With Fiona’s influence, Samantha’s case is soon back in the public eye, and as the success of her campaign builds, so does Fiona’s obsession with uncovering the truth. But Fiona is haunted by events in her own past, and as her demons start to surface, Fiona begins to question just what exactly is her influence being used for.
