About the book
Have you ever mistakenly sent a message to the wrong person?
Susan intended to send a gossipy message to her sister regarding their neighbour, but instead, she accidentally posted it on the neighbourhood WhatsApp group.
Although it was an innocent error that could happen to anyone, the spread of rumours and subsequent consequences rapidly escalate. Ultimately, that one wrong message results in a tragic murder.
Following the discovery of a local woman's body, Susan comprehends from a news report that the victim resided at the same address as her, albeit in a different part of town. This realization raises concerns that the killer may have mistaken the victim - and now Susan could be their next target.
