Summary

Summary

The disappearance of a young internet celebrity ignites a firestorm of speculation on social media, and to find her a detective will have to extinguish the blaze.  

Chloe Cates is missing. The thirteen-year-old star of the hit YouTube series CC and Me has disappeared, and nobody knows where she’s gone―least of all ruthless momager Jennifer Scarborough, who has spent much of her daughter’s young life crafting a child celebrity persona that is finally beginning to pay off. And in Chloe’s absence, the faux-fairy tale world that supported that persona begins to fracture, revealing secrets capable of reducing the highly-dysfunctional Scarborough family to rubble. 

Anxious to find her daughter and preserve the life she’s worked so hard to build, Jennifer turns to social media for help, but the hearsay, false claims, and salacious suspicions only multiply. As the search becomes as sensational as Chloe’s series, Missing Persons detective Emilina Stone steps in, only to realize she has a connection to this case herself. Will she be able to stay objective and cut through the rumors to find the truth before it’s too late?

Told from multiple points of view including Jennifer, Emilina, and pages from Chloe’s lost diary, Chloe Cates Is Missing is a suspenseful novel of a child pushed to the brink, and of the troubled family that desperately needs her back.

Editorial Reviews

“[A] gripping debut…McHugh is off to a strong start.” Publishers Weekly
“McHugh weaves these stories together seamlessly in an of-the-moment thriller that will leave you guessing what the truth is until the final page. A terrific debut!” Catherine McKenzie, USA Today bestselling author
“A tale guaranteed to keep genre fans up till dawn.” Kirkus Reviews
“It’s a mommy blog gone terribly wrong in this captivating debut from Mandy McHugh. Chloe Cates Is Missing has everything I want in a domestic thriller: propulsive storytelling, razor-sharp prose, disturbing behavior, explosive secrets, and a uniquely dysfunctional family. Settle in for this stunner; once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop.” Megan Collins, author of The Family Plot
“Settle in for this stunner; once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop.” Megan Collins, author of The Family Plot
“Mandy McHugh delightfully claws away the glitter to reveal the darkness and dysfunction roiling beneath the surface of a seemingly perfect family. Everyone has a secret they’re desperate to hide, everyone is lying, and it’s great fun (can I call murder fun?) to fit the shifting pieces together. A spectacular debut from a promising writer.” Laura McHugh, award-winning author of What’s Done in Darkness
“From the timely social media relevance, to the constant tension, to the tightly woven plot, this one doesn’t let go until delivering an ending that will leave your mouth hanging open.” Jaime Lynn Hendricks, author of Finding Tessa
“I compulsively devoured Chloe Cates Is Missing. With characters you love to hate, this novel is Drama with a capital D―and is utterly terrifying in its snapshot of our selfie society’s obsession with popularity and perception.” Tara Laskowski, award-winning author of One Night Gone
