Influence and Consequence

By Paul Gilbert

A gripping psychological thriller where influencer culture turns deadly. Perfect for fans of You, Black Mirror, and The Girl on the Train.

Lyra Vance is a rising social media influencer-balancing her life between caf shifts and curated content, chasing likes, followers, and the next big post. But when fellow influencers start turning up dead, each murder staged to reflect one of the seven deadly sins, Lyra's perfect world begins to crack.

Thrust into the center of a chilling mystery, Lyra is forced to confront the dark side of the online world she helped build. The killer, known only as The Architect, isn't just targeting influencers-they're delivering brutal moral judgments. And Lyra may be next.

Detective Calder Roan, a skeptic of influencer culture, becomes Lyra's reluctant ally as they unravel a twisted game of obsession and deception. With every post, every comment, and every connection under scrutiny, Lyra must question the persona she's built-and how far she'll go to survive.

But in a world where everything is filtered, how do you know what's real?

If you enjoy psychological thrillers with female leads, serial killer suspense, and dark explorations of social media culture, Influence and Consequence will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final shocking twist.
