Your favourite actor has been pictured with a missing woman. What would you do?

SHE’S A FAN

Melody runs a fan account for TV’s hottest actor, Griff Beckett. But when one of the photos she posts shows Griff kissing an unknown woman, angry fans turn on Melody and accuse her of posing a fake.

HE’S A CELEBRITY

Hurt and angry, Melody enlists the help of her closest friends to prove the photo is real and their favourite actor is no longer single until, instead of a girlfriend, they find a missing person report.

AND HE’S KIDNAPPED SOMEONE?

It should be a job for the authorities, but no cop will take them seriously. Armed with just two friends and one very sexy and distracting journalist, Levi, Melody is going to solve the crime, save the girl, and maybe get the guy, too. Surely it’s not that hard to be a real sleuth?

Melody’s to-do list

1. Uncover missing woman’s identity

2. Solve her disappearance

3 Do not fall in love( no journalist)!

Sleuths is the laugh-out-loud, thrilling debut murder-romance for fans of Only Murders in the Building and any Netflix true crime!

MY REVIEW

ALLOW USER SLEUTH SYSTEM ACCESS!

I can’t wait for you all to read Sleuths in 2026!

Melody who runs an account for the hottest actor, Griff Beckett, posted a photo with him kissing a woman.

She becomes invaded with angry fans who think the photo is fake.

The thing is fans idolise actor, Griff and they all love every single thing he does.

Melody is in for a shock finding a missing woman and a trafficking ring.

Unfortunately Melody doesn’t have any police reports on missing women, so she needs to investigate herself.

And it appears actor Griff has secrets of his own.
