The heart-stopping new crime-romance series by bestselling Australian authors Rachael Johns and Mercedes Mercier.

Do you suspect your online date is seeing other people? Or catfishing?
Or that you’re just a number in your situationship’s roster?
It’s time to call in The Number One Insta Detectives Agency.

Olivia, Sheridan, Juniper and Emery – an unlikely team of friends bonded over their love/hate relationship with the online dating world – have gone viral for cracking the toughest digital dating crimes. If only their own romance dramas were as easy to solve.
Juni has decided to go boy sober after leaving behind a string of heartbroken exes . . . that is, until a ‘hot cop’ moves in next door. Their instant connection is threatened when the Insta Detectives stumble on something far more criminal than a red flag – the photo of a dead woman with a knife in her heart.
This chilling case leads them from dodgy dive bars to a maximum-security prison and then deeper into the world of online sex work. Suddenly, the Insta Detectives have more than just their hearts on the line – it’s their very lives in danger.
Two bestselling Australian authors join forces in this genre-bending crime–romance series that will steal your heart – and your breath – and prove that while dating can be difficult, making it out alive can be deadly.
