I Found a Body

'A modern twist on a detective story, which totally captures this strange digital age we live in' OENONE FORBAT, author of Bad Influence

An influencer, a dead body and a live stream . . . Mona Hendricks may have just met her match.

Detective Sergeant Mona Hendricks has a lot on her plate. Divorce, bills, an obnoxious teenager. But she has no idea what's coming . . .

A video. Big red letters in the corner.

Alerts slide over the screen. One after another after another. The viewing numbers soar. Her daughter's favourite influencer, Kylie May, has just found a dead body and is streaming it to the world.

Two duelling investigations begin as a rivalry between seasoned detective and ambitious influencer grows: one using good old-fashioned police work whilst the other's sensational tactics hog the spotlight.

Nine years later and the murder remains unsolved. But comment sections never forget, forcing the notoriously self-interested Kylie to make Detective Hendricks an offer she can't refuse . . .

A brilliant and pacy debut featuring a fantastically crotchety female detective reminiscent of shows like Happy Valley contrasted with the sassy ingenuity of Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, all mixed with the modern and slick black comedy of Killing Eve.
