Bookseller recommendation

“Her best friend Plum is missing, and Margaret fears the worst. Or maybe there is something worse than “the worst.” A phone mysteriously arrives at Margaret’s door and texts begin to appear that seem to be from Plum. Thus begins a day of unbelievably bizarre and terrifying events. Creepy, suspenseful, mesmerizing horror. ”

“I wasn't sure I could stay with this one, after that opening chapter. I'm a bug-phobe. It was.....intense. This is a book readers will SMELL. You'll taste it! You'll hear the buzzing. You'll feel a pheromonic draw. Anything that involves all the senses is a testament to an authors prowess with the written word.This is my first Nick Cutter, it will not be my last!I The male narrator was absolutely riveting. I felt myself coming a bit unglued as HIS tenuous grip on sanity ebbed. ”

Summary
About the author

“One of the hottest horror authors on the planet” (Paste) and writer of the #HorrorBookTok sensation The Troop returns with a heart-pounding novel of terror about a young woman searching for her missing friend and uncovering a shocking truth.

On a sunny morning in June, Margaret Carpenter wakes up to find a new iPhone on her doorstep. She switches it on to find a text from her best friend, Charity Atwater. The problem is, Charity’s been missing for over a month. Most people in town—even the police—think she’s dead.

Margaret and Charity have been lifelong friends. They share everything, know the most intimate details about one another…except for the destructive secret hidden from them both. A secret that will trigger a chain of events ending in tragedy, bloodshed, and death. And now Charity wants Margaret to know her story—the real story. In a narrative that takes place over one feverish day, Margaret follows a series of increasingly disquieting breadcrumbs as she forges deeper into the mystery of her best friend—a person she never truly knew at all…
