Packed full of twists and tension, A Killer Motive consumed me until I'd turned the last page. The ending packs a wallop, and you won't see it coming! --Sarah Pekkanen, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Reminiscent of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley, A Killer Motive pulls true crime podcaster Stella Dixon--and the reader right alongside--into a deadly game... A twisty, compulsive, heart-pounding read! --Daniel Kalla, bestselling author of High Society


You never know who's listening.

To Stella Dixon, sneaking her teenage brother out of their parents' house for a beach party was harmless fun--until Max disappeared without a trace.

Six years later, Stella's family is still broken, and she can't let go of her guilt. The only thing that keeps her going is helping other families find closure through A Killer Motive, her true crime podcast.

In a bid to find new sponsors and keep making episodes, Stella goes on a local radio show. But when she says on air that if she had just one clue, she'd find Max and bring whoever hurt him to justice, someone takes it as a challenge.

A mysterious invitation to play a game arrives, with the promise that if Stella wins, she'll get information about what happened to Max. Stella thinks it's a sick joke...until Max's best friend vanishes. And she's given new instructions: tell nobody or people will die.

Desperate and unable to trust anyone, Stella agrees. But beating a twisted, invisible enemy seems impossible when they make all the rules...
