"Samantha launched herself full force at Anime Bloom, a bottle-blonde bombshell in pajama jeans who had trash-talked Sam's mother one too many times. If Sam had her way, neither of them would live past the next five minutes." The Harding family lives in the wealthy bedroom community of Beaconsfield, less than an hour's drive outside of New York City. Up until a few months ago, 16-year-old Samantha Harding's biggest worry was what to post on Instagram. But when her beloved father is killed in a drugstore shooting, she is plunged into a world of grief and confusion. In addition, her mother's sudden personality change after a weekend in the city leaves Sam and her little sister, Sarah, alone and vulnerable. To deal with her pain, Sam writes private messages to her departed dad's old Facebook account. Through this, she learns he was murdered in cold blood and their family is in danger. Now it's up to Sam to find the killer, with help from beyond the grave, and stop him before it's too late.
