This Book Will Bury Me

OMG. This book is a page-turner (and it’s terrifying, for the record!) I don’t typically find most thrillers scary, but more psychologically thrilling (if that makes sense). This one is very, very scary; I even had a couple of nightmares. Jane Sharp is a college student in Florida. She has just lost her father (this part of the book is sad). When a local woman is murdered, she finds herself slipping into the world of online true crime forums. It becomes an obsession, being an armchair detective, hunting killers from afar. She drops out of college and befriends four other “sleuths,” who feel like family. They set out to research and help solve crimes nationwide. It gives her a sense of purpose in a world that’s begun to feel meaningless without her father. When three college girls in Delphine, Idaho, are murdered, Jane and her true crime family are determined to solve the case. But details aren’t adding up; they are against a clever killer. Jane and her group travel to Delphine, placing themselves at the story’s center. Jane risks everything (using the last of her savings, pretending to be a local college student) to uncover what’s happened. It’s a year after the case has concluded, and Jane is telling her story (the book is structured as if Jane writes it), telling the truth of what happened. I suspected a pretty epic twist throughout the book, but didn’t want it to be true. I’ll say no more, but it’s a shocker!!!
