The Influencers

Praise

“A murder mystery crossed with a cautionary tale about family, authenticity, and social media . . . Funny, heartbreaking, wonderfully written.” —Jane Pek, author of The Verifiers

“Juicy, twisty, and full of ruthless details . . . Be careful who you unfollow—they just might kill you.” —Maggie Thrash, author of Rainbow Black

“The Kardashians meets Knives Out—a murder mystery with slices of a Virgin Suicides Greek chorus . . . I whipped through it!” —Frances Cha, author of If I Had Your Face

“A witty and razor-sharp whodunit that will leave you both satisfied and challenged . . . A gorgeous, gloriously scathing story.” —Ashley Herring Blake, author of Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date

“As sharp as it is delicious, The Influencers is a page-turning delight as well as an incisive critique of the culture of unmitigated self-display. No one is spared—including the readers—but everyone is granted their full, complex humanity.” —Jessie Gaynor, author of The Glow

“Brilliantly dissects the pressures of influencer culture, privacy, and power while exploring the complex dynamics of sisterhood . . . McLemore’s voice and wit shine through, making this a must-read for anyone who loves a smart, subversive take on contemporary life. Gripping, cunningly plotted, and thought-provoking, The Influencers balances escapist fun with deep social commentary.” —Christina McDowell, author of The Cave Dwellers

“A stellar adult debut . . . McLemore writes a gimlet-eyed take on social media’s infiltration of society, with a murder mystery as the novel’s fulcrum. . . . A compelling read, rather like watching a train wreck. Recommend to fans of the Kardashians and novels like Kevin Wilson’s The Family Fang.”—Library Journal
