________________________________
A deliciously dark and twisted debut about family secrets, true crime, and destructive obsession – by a striking new talent
Teddy Angstrom is no stranger to morbid public interest in her family’s tragedies. And when her father dies suddenly, ten years to the day after her sister Angie’s disappearance, she intends to maintain as much privacy as she always has.
Clearing out her father’s office, however, Teddy discovers her father’s double life: a decade-long investigation into wild conspiracies from a Reddit community of true crime fans fixated on Angie. Repelled and compelled in equal measure by this new online dimension, Teddy finds herself falling down that same rabbit hole.
So when nineteen-year-old Mickey, a charming amateur internet sleuth, materialises in real life, Teddy determines that the two of them are going to team up to find out what really happened to Angie – and whether there’s any chance she might still be alive.
But as she struggles to reconcile new information with old memories, Teddy doesn’t notice that her obsession is making her increasingly self-destructive. And she’s in way over her head before she’s realises that Mickey, too, is not all she seems…
Noirish, haunting and razor-sharp, as compulsive as a late-night Reddit binge, Rabbit Hole is an unforgettable debut about violence, family and grief.
'A smart and edgy mystery that kept me turning pages from start to finish' Alexis Schaitkin
‘I absolutely loved this book … I couldn't put it down’ Ainslie Hogarth

Critic reviews
A twisty, pacy crime thriller with wit and unusual plotlines ... Has some telling things to say about the voyeuristic and entitled nature of fetishistic true crime fans
A compelling study of grief, betrayal, the slippery nature of memory and our complicated relationship with other people’s tragedies
While very much a thriller-style hunt for what happened, Brody’s debut is more accurately a sensitive, psychological investigation into the long-term, traumatic impact of lingering, unresolved grief
Kate Brody’s debut has all the trappings of a true crime podcast ... A gritty, grubby tale of grief, family secrets and addiction
An excellent read
A brilliant, dark debut about grief and the way in which the internet can magnify mania
A searing portrayal of loss, adolescence, and grief with all the twists and turns of a thriller. Teddy is a fantastically compelling narrator and her relationship with Mickey is twisted yet perfectly believable. I tore through this in a few days - a mindblowing debut (HEATHER DARWENT, author of The Things We Do to Our Friends)
A page-turner in the best sense, the most startling aspect of this brilliantly accomplished novel is that it’s Brody’s debut outing
Kate Brody and her writing will hold you by the throat until you finish the last page breathless in need of a lie down in a dark room. I was OBSESSED!
A thrilling mystery
In this smart, chilling page-turner, a high school English teacher obsessed with her older sister's long-ago disappearance gets caught up in Reddit conspiracy theories
A dark, absorbing evocation of grief, loss and strained familial ties, painfully capturing how damaging the search for answers can be on the survivors of tragedy. A page-turner in the best sense, the most startling aspect of this brilliantly accomplished novel is that it’s Brody’s debut outing
A beautifully written and astutely observed literary thriller (PHILIPPA EAST, author of I'll Never Tell)
For anyone who's ever indulged in a late-night Reddit binge or has found themselves in the amateur sleuthing vortex of true crime junkies, Rabbit Hole follows a woman who becomes obsessed with solving the cold-case disappearance of her older sister
I fell down Rabbit Hole in an obsessive spiral ... It’s a pitch-black story about ambiguous loss, and a blazingly feminist take on the self-destructive pull of the internet. And it’s poignant. And it’s unflinching. And that ending! Kate Brody is a star (KATE REED PETTY, author of True Story)
A smart and edgy mystery that kept me turning pages feverishly from start to finish ... This is a story about girlhood, grief, the slippery nature of memory, and our society’s true crime obsession, and Brody delivers insights on these themes in prose that is both raw and beautiful. As we follow Teddy on her downward spiral, we are forced to ask: How much is the truth worth? (ALEXIS SCHAITKIN, AUTHOR OF Saint X)
