Critic Reviews
Thriller fans and popstar stans will find their new obsession in Rumoured. Intricately plotted and packed with unpredictable twists, Kelly and Kristina Mancaruso have crafted a deliciously fun puzzle to solve—and a wild and bingeable story to devour.

A rollercoaster ride of fame, fortune, drugs, ambition and murder. What else could you want? All the glamour of superstardom yet twisty and dark. My head is still spinning! (Rachel Wolf, author of Sun Trap and Five Nights)
All the rumours are true, this book is set to become the debut thriller of the summer. Fast-paced and twisty, the clues (and bodies) pile up in this punchy, satirical take on fan culture and the world of popstars. Your next obsession. (Sian Gilbert, author of She Started It and I Did Warn Her)
This one's for the girls who draw their cat eyes sharp enough to kill a man: Rumoured is an incredibly fun and addictive ride through the world of pop superstardom, from the highs of champagne-soaked arena tours to the lows of dark accusations and stan stalking. Kelly and Kristina Mancaruso have crafted a thriller as bingeable as the juiciest celebrity gossip, so put this in your pool bag and prepare to be obsessed. (Ashley Winstead, USA Today-bestselling author of This Book Will Bury Me)
Harlow Hayes is a famous pop star at the top of her game, until she is accused of murder. But why would someone in this kind of spotlight commit such a crime?? Celebrity journalist Naomi Barnes becomes obsessed with this case and is on a mission to find out the truth at what ever cost.
There is so much happening in this book I was so engrossed in it. The book is told between narrative, online articles, lyrics and the hype of social media. Although this felt a little much at the start, trust me keep me with it, its completely worth it in the end. Every time I thought I had worked out the mystery, the book took a turn in a completely different direction.
The way the authors sprinkled the Easter throughout eggs was so good. The secret messages in the lyrics was such a good touch and I love the way the book continued to unfold.
So many twist and turns, gasping moments and conspiracy theory’s. One of my favourite thrillers of the year!
So many twists and turns to keep you on edge
