Dark Corners





True crime podcaster Rachel Krall is back, in search of a popular influencer who disappears after visiting a suspected serial killer.

Always know what you’re walking into. Dark corners can be danger points.

True-crime podcaster Rachel Krall gets pulled into the cut-throat and narcissistic world of social media influencers as she investigates the mysterious disappearance of an Instagrammer. Racing to find the missing woman before it's too late, Rachel discovers a connection to the abduction and murders of other young women years earlier.

Even social media influencers have secrets, and some of them can be deadly.

The heart-stopping new thriller from international superstar Megan Goldin. A wickedly entertaining and terrifying look at how dangerous our obsession with social media fame can be.

'A gripping story that is equal parts shocking, unnerving, and thrilling. Goldin takes the ‘true crime’ trope to new and unexpected territory.' Karin Slaughter

Praise for Dark Corners

A gripping story that is equal parts shocking, unnerving, and thrilling. Goldin takes the ‘true crime’ trope to new and unexpected territory.

Karin Slaughter

Aspiring crime writers, read this book. If anyone can show you how to grab a hold of a reader and not let go, it’s Megan Goldin. It only took me eight pages to realise I wasn’t going to get anything else done until I finished this novel. Short, sharp chapters, every other one ending on a cliffhanger, were the real hook. Then add an intelligent, strong-willed and likeable main character, and a truly despicable bad guy, and you’ve got a cracker of a read. ...although I didn’t quite get through the whole book in one sitting, it was close.
