Slay Ride: A Killer Fashion Mystery
Om denne e-boken
Bah, Hashtag!
When intrepid fashion insider Samantha Kidd lands a temporary assignment as a social media influencer two weeks before Christmas, she dives into the world of lifestyle goals. The job provides props to encourage drool-worthy posts destined to inspire envy and drive customers into last-minute shopping frenzies, but when a colleague goes missing, the illusion of Samantha's perfect life fades like an out-of-date filter.
The only clues to her colleague's disappearance are found on his Instagram timeline, which Samantha knows has been staged. Maintaining appearances and influencing Christmas sales trends takes a back seat to finding her friend, but when the lines between authenticity and hype are blurred, she’ll either reveal the truth … or drown in a sea of hashtags.
