Sleuths

Your favourite actor has been pictured with a missing woman. What would you do? SHE''S A FAN Melody runs a fan account for TV''s hottest actor, Griff Beckett. But when one of the photos she posts shows Griff kissing an unknown woman, angry fans turn on Melody and accuse her of posting a fake. HE''S A CELEBRITY Hurt and angry, Melody enlists the help of her closest friends to prove the photo is real and their favourite actor is no longer single...until, instead of a girlfriend, they find a missing person report. AND HE''S...KIDNAPPED SOMEONE? It should be a job for the authorities, but no cop will take them seriously. Armed with just two friends and one very sexy (and distracting) journalist, Levi, Melody is going to solve the crime, save the girl, and maybe get the guy, too. Surely it''s not that hard to be a real sleuth? The laugh-out-loud, thrilling debut for fans of Only Murders in the Building and any Netflix true crime!
