Talking to Strangers

Karen Simmons was looking for love on all the dating apps when she turned up dead after a Valentine’s Day meet-up. She ran a popular hair salon, and her murder is a shock to her small town of Epping in Essex, England. Journalist Kiki Nunn pounces on the case, hoping that this story will be the scoop she needs to rev up her flagging career. Her aggressive newsgathering style antagonizes Elise King, the detective on the case, and Kiki soon feels stonewalled. She decides to do her own investigating and dives headlong into the online dating scene in hopes of finding Karen’s killer and her big story. She’s being pursued by more men than she can handle and is suspicious of several who seem to be stalking her. She doesn’t realize that small towns harbor deep secrets, and nosy journalists are not always welcome. With the cops less than eager to help, Kiki is in over her head with nowhere to turn.
