Liz: I also kind of point to social media, There's a point in my first adult thriller, The Perfect Neighborhood, where a little boy goes missing on his walk home, and the mom has posted a photo of him, like, look at my big guy walking home from kindergarten alone. And the police are like, you know, this isn't you didn't mark this private. you have the school sign, anybody knows where this kid is. And so I have discussion questions in the back of the book has this made you think a little bit differently about what you share on social media I want people to to kind of because kind of similar vibe when you watch a true crime documentary and you're like but that guy seems so normal what happened you know K. R. Raye: Everything was so normal, everything was so perfect, and this would have never happened in our neighborhood or I would have never assumed, right? Liz: Right.
