The darker the secret, the brighter the spotlight . . . Clickbait is a sharp, propulsive thriller about ruthless ambition and the dark side of fame. 'We're not famous anymore. We're notorious.' For over a decade, the Lancasters were celebrity royalty, with millions tuning in every week to watch their reality show, Living with the Lancasters. But then an old video emerges of one of their legendary parties. Suddenly, they're in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons- witnesses swore they'd seen missing teenager Bradley Wilcox leaving the Lancaster family home on the night of the party, but the video tells a different story. Now true crime investigator and YouTuber Tom Isaac is on the case. He's determined to find out what really happened to Bradley - he just needs to read between the Lancasters' lies . . . Because when the cameras are always rolling, it won't be long until someone cracks.
To say this book was a compelling page-turner would be a criminal understatement. Its a novel you inhale and marvel at as you fly through page after gripping page. A total stunner * B.P Walter, bestselling author of THE DINNER GUEST *
I think L.C. North has invented the Celebrity Meltdown Thriller! Clickbait is a hugely enjoyable blast of fresh air. Murder, monster egos and vanity. Great stuff! * Emma Curtis, author of THE BABYSITTER *
Told through mixed media, Clickbait kept me turning the pages to find out what happened to missing teenager, Bradley Wilcox. Masterfully plotted and told with verve and humour, this clever and compelling story was made for TV. Bravo * Jo Callaghan, author of IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE *
A must for fans of reality TV or true crime - compelling and page-turning with some shocking twists along the way. Loved it * Catherine Cooper, bestselling author of THE CHALET *
An utterly gripping thriller that explores the addictiveness of reality TV in todays society, and the lengths some people will go to in order to achieve fame. Whip-smart and incisive, I couldnt put this book down. * Nikki Smith, author of THE BEACH PARTY *
