People Pleaser





Fleabag meets The White Lotus. This murder mystery about a woman searching for her reality TV star sister's killer is both page-turning and bang on the zeitgeist.

Suddenly, Maggie has it all: a gorgeous husband, an immaculate Los Angeles mansion, and an entourage of glamorous friends.

Despite picture-perfect appearances, the world Maggie has created is shattered after she’s found murdered in a desolate warehouse.

As her sister, Emma, attempts to uncover the truth about Maggie’s life, a deadlier side to Hollywood is revealed.

Because being beautiful can have the ugliest consequences. . .

Praise for People Pleaser

A richly textured, compulsively bingeable, pulse-yanking ride, full of sophisticated twists, smart cultural commentary, and heart. The last 50 pages made me miss my subway stop. I loved it.

Eve Gleichman

Dark and wickedly funny. This searing debut explores the worlds of fame and influencer culture with razor sharp precision. Catriona Stewart is one to watch!

Asha Elias

People Pleaser is the definition of a page-turner. Entertaining and relevant, it is a gripping exploration into the dark side of glamour and fame
