Kill Show by Daniel Sweren-Becker
4.0
Here's the simplistic set up: Sara Parcell goes missing. Her brother secretly records a moment between his parents that goes viral. A Hollywood producer sees the video and descends on Massachusetts to document, in real time, the investigation to find Sara. People become obsessed.
Years later, a documentary is produced about the Sara Parcell case. The resulting story is the book, Kill Show, and it is a fun twist on a thriller/mystery genre that can sometimes feel oversaturated with the same tropes.
Told in oral history format, I was engaged from the very beginning - I could not turn the pages fast enough. I loved this format because it provides an easy way to really see the perspective - good or bad - of the people involved. There are some fascinating viewpoints. Given the fact that there are certainly villians in this story, it could be a fun book club choice with lots of angles to discuss!
