Guilty by Laura Elliot is what I would consider a psychological thriller.

A teenager goes missing which ramps up a huge investigation. Her uncle Karl becomes the prime suspect due in large part to heavy media influence.

Karl’s world is in turmoil, meanwhile, the news reporter (Amanda) responsible for his demise, is flourishing.

This book was a page turner that had me enraged at the media and its influence on the masses. There were many questions to answer: would Constance’s death be solved, would Karl get restitution and would Amanda ever have consequences for her actions? All are answered by the end of the book as each character is explored more fully.
