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 good show?

Praise for Kill Show

  • 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.

  • 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.
