This was a decent enough mystery/psychological thriller but I was disappointed by how quickly and simplistically everything was wrapped up at the end.
Rachel, a podcaster, drops everything to travel to Florida after a call from an FBI agents hints at an exclusive story. A young woman has vanished, the only clue being her sudden visit to a convicted felon and him asking her to contact Rachel.
I quite liked the location of the Instagram conference, and it definitely served to highlight the shallowness of social media, but as a result some of the characters felt caricaturish and lacked depth. We also heard part of the story from the killer's POV but the author didn't expand on his motivations.
All in all an enjoyable read and an author I'd read more of
