Reviews

"[A] modern reimagining of Theodore Dreiser's 1925 novel, An American Tragedy... takes readers through the intimate details of a mysterious drowning and the sensational trial... This riveting mock podcast docudrama ratchets up the suspense as readers glimpse every angle of the story from a 360-degree view."--Library Journal (starred review)
"In podcast style, the mystery gives us a range of voices and perspectives, from the boathouse attendants on, held together by the narrator. The advantage of this format is its great immediacy."--Booklist
"Centered on the world of social media influencers, the pseudonymous Dorn's remarkable debut takes the form of a true crime docuseries... The riveting trial, during which Cleo constantly changes her story, comes down to circumstantial evidence... With no witnesses to the murder, readers will breathlessly await the verdict."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
A truly innovative, fantastic book. Emphatically recommended. Reads like your favorite podcast, the hit crime doc you'll want to binge. A brilliant brewing of progressive internet influencers, with smaller town police doing their best to keep up. Structurally fresh, these talking heads will enchant you."--Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box
