And when her father dies suddenly, ten years to the day after her sister Angies disappearance, she intends to maintain as much privacy as she always has. Clearing out her fathers office, however, Teddy discovers her fathers double life: a decade-long investigation into wild conspiracies from a Reddit community of true crime fans fixated on Angie. Repelled and compelled in equal measure by this new online dimension, Teddy finds herself falling down that same rabbit hole. So when nineteen-year-old Mickey, a charming amateur internet sleuth, materialises in real life, Teddy determines that the two of them are going to team up to find out what really happened to Angie and whether theres any chance she might still be alive. But as she struggles to reconcile new information with old memories, Teddy doesnt notice that her obsession is making her increasingly self-destructive. And shes in way over her head before shes realises that Mickey, too, is not all she seems Noirish, haunting and razor-sharp, as compulsive as a late-night Reddit binge, Rabbit Hole is an unforgettable debut about violence, family and grief.

Reviews

Vivid, beautiful writing, and disturbing in the best way, Rabbit Hole is absolutely unputdownable -- MILA KUNIS
A searing portrayal of loss, adolescence, and grief with all the twists and turns of a thriller. Teddy is a fantastically compelling narrator and her relationship with Mickey is twisted yet perfectly believable. I tore through this in a few days - a mindblowing debut -- HEATHER DARWENT, author of THE THINGS WE DO TO OUR FRIENDS
I fell down Rabbit Hole in an obsessive spiral ... Its a pitch-black story about ambiguous loss, and a blazingly feminist take on the self-destructive pull of the internet. And its poignant. And its unflinching. And that ending! Kate Brody is a star -- KATE REED PETTY, author of True Story
A smart and edgy mystery that kept me turning pages feverishly from start to finish ... This is a story about girlhood, grief, the slippery nature of memory, and our societys true crime obsession, and Brody delivers insights on these themes in prose that is both raw and beautiful. As we follow Teddy on her downward spiral, we are forced to ask: How much is the truth worth -- ALEXIS SCHAITKIN, AUTHOR OF SAINT X
I absolutely loved this book. Rabbit Hole is an unflinching portrait of grief and obsession, as well as a genuinely gripping mystery. The characters feel raw and real, the story is dark and timely. I couldn't put it down -- AINSLIE HOGARTH, author of Motherthing
Blistering, sexy, concentric and dark, Rabbit Hole is the ultimate literary thriller for the digital age, a Reddit whodunnit that is at once hyper-modern, and grounded by the deep emotionality of Kate Brody's enduring questions about grief and girlhood, caretaking and identity and how, in the absence of truth, to live a meaningful life. An unputdownable debut from a writer I would follow anywhere -- ALLIE ROWBOTTOM, author of Jell-O Girls and Aesthetica
