? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

Follow the white rabbit down a psychological thriller that delves into the complexities of grief, obsession, and the dark corners of the internet. Rabbit Hole by Kate Brody follows Theodora Angstrom, whose sister Angie is the subject of an unresolved missing person case. After their father, Mark, takes his own life, Teddy discovers his involvement in a Reddit community fixated on Angie’s disappearance. This sparks an obsession with the case that rivals her father’s.

Teddy gets entangled in a web of secret strained relationships, and a mysterious amateur sleuth named Mickey, as she unravels the threads of her sister’s disappearance. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of Teddy’s tumultuous personal life, which she destroys in a warpath in search of the truth.

The book underscores the lasting impact of unresolved grief on an individual’s psyche. The portrayal of the online community highlights the dangers of online echo chambers, where individuals can become consumed by a shared obsession, blurring the line between seeking justice and perverse rubbernecking.
