This Book Will Bury Me

This Book Will Bury Me by Ashley Winstead, 480 pages

When her father dies suddenly, Jane finds solace in the least likely of places — the online true crime community, where she quickly becomes immersed in solving murders near and far. One case, the murder of three girls in Idaho, is particularly perplexing, and even though they've gained plenty of detractors among both police and amateur detectives, Jane and her online friends from the community are determined to solve the crime. However, as they learn more, Jane discovers that there is much more to the triple murder than meets the eye.

While I enjoyed this book, the slower pace and focus on solving the murders kept this from feeling like the thriller it's marketed as. It also kinda bugged me that the book kept referencing something in the future that made the main character notorious, which I assumed would be the main source of danger and tension, but that didn’t really appear until halfway through the book. Enjoyable, but not my favorite thriller of the year.
