Twenty-four-year-old Jane Sharp is distraught after the death of her father. The world of true crime becomes a perfect diversion when she is invited to join a diverse group of amateur online crime solvers. Adopting the alias Searcher, Jane teams up with Citizen, Goku, Lightly, and Mistress, forming the Newsline 5. Following the shocking murders of three female college students in Delphine, Idaho, the group gets so involved in the hunt for the killer that they become a part of the story, which keeps getting more and more complicated. Jane recounts this compelling tale one year after the case has concluded and reveals the complete truth behind the murders.
This Book Will Bury Me by Ashley Winstead is a work of fiction inspired by real cases, as noted in the author's introduction. While a gripping crime thriller, it is also a story about grief and love, as Jane comes to terms with the loss of her father, a man she realizes she never fully understood. The book raises intriguing thoughts about the role of armchair detectives who may aid in crime-solving but can also create havoc. The media can also cause damage to an investigation and its victims. Winstead became a must-read author following her 2021 debut, In My Dreams I Hold a Knife, and she continues to produce dark, chilling stories. She has also written two entertaining romance novels; it amazes me how she can juggle such different genres. If you are a fan of true crime, you'll want to read this book.
