Books with title Kill You Last

"They always agreed to meet me. Of course, I told them I was bringing them money. I said it was cash and I didn't want to send it through the mail. They might have hesitated at first about meeting me, but I never had to work very hard to convince them. Why?... It was the only way they could prolong their pathetic dreams of someday becoming rich, famous models." Shelby's life in Soundview has always been comfortable. Her dad provides a luxurious lifestyle for his family through his photography business. He makes a ton of money taking headshots of pretty young teens who are desperate to become models. Shelby has always enjoyed driving around town in a red sports car, shopping with her best friend at her side. And her Mom is laidback, so it's all good. However, as reports of girls disappearing from nearby towns start to appear on the news, Shelby's seemingly perfect life begins to fall apart. The three missing girls have one thing in common: they were all clients of her dad's photography business. Secrets begin to surface as the investigation continues. Shelby receives threatening emails, battles the nosy media, and tries to keep her family together. Now that her dad is implicated in the disappearances, can Shelby figure out a way to clear his name? Or is dad not as innocent as he seems?

Local model wanted: must be tall, gorgeous...and not afraid to die. This is third in the series of glossy crime thrillers from a bestselling American author. Are you dying to be famous...? It seems that every girl in Soundview wants to be a model, singer or actress. They all need super-glam photos for agents and scouts - which works out perfectly for Shelby's photographer dad. He makes a fortune taking pictures of these wannabes...until the girls start to disappear and he is accused of murder. Shelby knows her dad is innocent and is determined to prove it, and that means finding the real killer. This is a glossy thriller from "an author who really has his finger on the way kids think" ("The New York Times"). It offers all the glamour of Gossip Girl and all the suspense of James Patterson.
