THOUSANDS OF ONLINE FRIENDS. IT ONLY TAKES ONE TO DESTROY YOU.
Erin lives an idyllic life by the seaside with her baby boy and Australian fiancé. She's upbeat and happy - a natural mum.
At least that's what her thousands of followers on Instagram think.
In reality, Erin is struggling with anxiety and finding it difficult to connect with her screaming son. So, when an agent offers to make her the biggest Instamum out there, she can't refuse.
And when Amanda, a family friend who's visiting from Australia, says she'll move in and babysit to help make it happen, it seems like the stars have finally aligned for Erin's exciting new career.
But there's something Amanda isn't telling her.
Something that will destroy Erin's carefully curated persona online.

Gripping, unsettling and thoroughly absorbing. C.C. Macdonald's second novel is just as thrilling as his superb debut.
—— B. P. WalterThe series that has shadowed Brunetti for three decades is an epic achievement - in its own way quite the equal of Anthony Powell's A Dance to the Music of Time
—— The TimesFew detective writers create so vivid, inclusive and convincing a narrative as Donna Leon, the expatriate American with the Venetian heart . . . One of the most exquisite and subtle detective series ever
—— The Washington PostVirtually every page contains a sentence that demands to be quoted ... reading Leon is always an uplifting experience
—— Mark Sanderson , The TimesLeon started out with offhand, elegant excellence, and has simply kept it up
—— GuardianDonna Leon has been giving unto us for all of the thirty years since Death at La Fenice introduced us to Brunetti
—— Val McDermidLeon's elegant, witty prose . . . is a joy. One of the best European novelists around
—— Amanda CraigGive Unto Others is both tremendously enjoyable and deeply humane. As much about love as it is about crime, and rich with Venetian detail
—— Jessie Greengrass, Costa-shortlisted author of The High HouseIt may be Donna Leon's 80th birthday this year, but it is her readers who will be getting a present, in the form of a new Commissario Brunetti novel
—— Barry Forshaw , Financial TimesGive Unto Others is no less mysteriously compulsive than its 30 predecessors . . . Thanks for giving such civilised pleasure for half a lifetime
—— AN Wilson , The TabletA gently paced, emotionally acute story of betrayal and revenge.
—— Mail on SundaySumptuous and intensely satisfying, it reminds us what an extraordinary gift Leon has given us
—— Daily Mail IrelandNobody But Us is unapologetically brutal, clever and raw: a psychological thriller that stabs a razor-sharp knife into the bruising issue of consent (and - for good measure - gives it a twist) while pursuing a page-turning game of cat-and-mouse in the most evocative of settings
—— PHILIPPA EASTI raced through Nobody But Us in a couple of days. It's a tense cat and mouse thriller and I enjoyed being toyed with...
—— LAURA PEARSONA propulsive thriller that is atmospheric and haunting, with so many twists that it left me breathless. At the core of the story is a rage-fuelled message, a cry of fury that demands to be heard. A triumph of a novel
—— JESSE Q. SUTANTODevoured this in a day. It's the reading equivalent of a 'hall of mirrors' where nothing is as it appears. Once you start reading, you can't stop
—— JULIE OWEN MOYLANSuperbly written, so sharp, descript and cunning. Deliciously dark and utterly addictive.
—— LOUISE BEECHBeautifully savage and cunningly sharp, Nobody But Us is destined to become your next obsession. The almost unbearable tension will trap you with Ellie and Steven in their twisted relationship where nothing is as it seems. Trust no one in this electrifying debut, and prepare to be completely consumed
—— LAURIE ELIZABETH FLYNNInspired by real stories and events shared during the MeToo movement, the cat-and-mouse power struggle between the pair will force you to decide whose version of history you believe
—— WomanI raced through this pacy zeitgeist thriller...for those who love their books dark, twisty and a tiny bit deranged (in a good way!)'
—— ROSIE ANDREWSNobody But Us is such an addictive thriller filled with secrets and mind games and never knowing who to trust. But it's also chilling and beautifully written with a powerful message at its heart. This is one book I won't be able to stop thinking about for a long time

—— MetroKnox has produced something extraordinary ... post-modern playfulness [embedded] in a rich and compelling plot that twists and turns until the final pages
—— The Big IssueAstonishing! So clever, so original! Highly recommended
—— Jane FallonThis clever novel reads like a true crime story (at times you have to remind yourself it's fiction), which makes it all the more compelling
—— IndependentAn ingenious thriller
—— Choice MagazineA very stylish novel revealing not only the unreliability of witnesses, but also the voyeurism in much crime reporting, crime investigation, and yes, in those of us who enjoy crime fiction
—— The TabletBook of the year
True Crime Story by Joseph Knox, a provocative mix of real and fictional crime in which the author himself investigates the disappearance of a student named Zoe. But is she a real or fictional character? With a fragmentary narrative style, this is something new in the overcrowded crime genre
Joseph Knox cements his reputation as one of the best of the new guard of British crime writers with True Crime Story, in which one Joseph Knox - a deliciously unflattering self-portrait - becomes entangled in the investigation into the disappearance of a student. It's a meta-fictional trick that helps to create a genuine (and genuinely pleasurable) sense of unease.
