Bad Influence
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Sunny Randall’s newest client, Blake, seems to have it all: he is an Instagram influencer, with all the perks the lifestyle entails—a beautiful girlfriend, wealth, and adoring fans. But one of those fans has turned ugly, and Sunny is brought on board by Blake’s manager, Bethany, to protect him and to uncover who is out to kill him. In doing so, she investigates a glamorous world rife with lies and schemes…and ties to a dangerous criminal scene.
When Bethany goes missing and the threats against Blake escalate, Sunny realizes that in order to solve this case, she has to find out exactly who Blake and Bethany are, behind the Instagram filters. While digging into their pasts, she is also forced to confront her own, as old friends—and ex-husbands—reappear. With a combination of old-school crime-solving skills and modern internet savvy, Sunny will stop at nothing to catch a killer.

With Robert B. Parker's Bad Influence, the Edgar and Shamus Award-winning Gaylin becomes the first female author to enter the legendary Parker's universe, with Parker's only female series protagonist, PI Sunny Randall, acting as bodyguard to an Instagram influencer. In Johansen's The Survivor, forensic sculptor Eve Duncan and archaeologist Riley Smith trek through the jungles of Laos, intent on finding (and saving) a rare animal threatened with extinction (100,000-copy first printing). Passing through Kentucky in Offutt's Code of the Hills, Mick Hardin has every intention of heading on to France but instead gets caught up in helping sheriff sister Linda investigate the murder of a popular mechanic at the local racetrack. Jack Morgan of the investigation agency Private is standing in the New York Stock Exchange with a former U.S. Marine buddy when his buddy is shot to death, leaving Jack to follow clues to Russia; Patterson and Hamdy's Private Moscow is the first "Private" thriller since 2018. With Alex Cross Down owing to serious injury, John Sampson is left alone to deal with a series of ferocious, seemingly unrelated military-style attacks; Patterson and DuBois reunite. In Petrie's The Heavy Lift, veteran Peter Ash is helping loyal friend Lewis get beyond the criminal life by tracking down an associate, but all they find is a burnt-down cabin--with notebooks that could incriminate Lewis now unaccounted for. In Rollins's Tides of Fire, a military submarine's disappearance off Australia's coast leads to warfare in a dead sea recently found to be rich with bioluminescent coral, and the subsequent geological disaster destabilizes an entire region (250,000-copy first printing). From the late Woods, Near Miss is another--and maybe final?--Stone Barrington title.

Boston PI Sunny Randall searches for the unknown person who's threatening a pair of Instagram influencers before the threats come true. The Covid pandemic has taken its toll on the restaurant Sunny's buddy Spike owns, and she can't help being interested when self-styled "media concierge" Bethany Rose offers the services of red-hot influencer couple Blake James and Alena Jade to promote the place and bring in new customers. Of course, neither Spike nor Sunny can afford these services, but Bethany is willing to offer them gratis if Sunny will figure out who's been sending Blake a series of ominous Instagram posts warning, "YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW." No sooner has Sunny started asking who sneaked past Eddie Voltaire, the guard at Blake and Alena's pricey apartment building, to snap a photo of Blake sleeping than Eddie's body is found stabbed 13 times. Clearly the influencers and their manager are up against a seriously bad adversary. But Sunny's appeals to her mobbed-up ex-father-in-law lead only to dead ends, and the closer she looks into the backgrounds of her clients, the guiltier they look themselves. In fact, she reflects, they're remarkably closemouthed for people whose "entire careers were based on letting strangers in on their so-called personal lives." Taking over the franchise for the first time, Gaylin proves the equal of Sunny's creator in plotting and his clear superior in bringing his heroine to life. She doesn't sound all that much like Parker; she sounds better. Gaylin brings Sunny to terms with contemporary social media even as she uncovers motives older than you can imagine.COPYRIGHT(2023) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
