"This utterly addictive, twisty thriller does a deep dive into the murky world of true crime obsessives — and grief — to unveil a brutal serial killer."
Ashley Winstead’s sharply plotted This Book Will Bury Me police procedural mystery has a brilliant twist as its premise, in that it puts a group of true crime obsessives in the detective driving seat as they try to track down a serial killer.
Written in the form of a “here’s the real inside truth” confessional from Jane, the young woman at the heart of the close-knit group, we know things went wrong from the start of the novel, with Jane’s first-person narrative also immediately centring the story, and its themes, on “the most human of urges”. In this context, in Jane’s words, that urge is “Our desire to order the unknowable, touch the unreachable, shine a light on what’s hidden”.
Jane becomes caught up in the world of true crime obsessives in the wake of the unexpected death of her father. In this dark online underground, she finds new friends among a smaller group of crime fanatics and together they throw everything they have at solving the murders of three female college students, meeting up in real life as the investigation ramps ups.
As the unlikely family of sleuths go all guns blazing to chase down the murderer, mayhem explodes in the wake of a number of wrong turns, and then there’s the truth, which no one will see coming.
