This Book Will Bury Me by Ashley Winstead
After the unexpected death of her father, college student Jane Sharp longs for a distraction from her grief. She becomes obsessed with true crime, befriending armchair detectives who teach her how to hunt killers from afar. In this morbid internet underground, Jane finds friendship, purpose and even glory.
So when news of the shocking deaths of three college girls in Delphine, Idaho, takes the world by storm, and sleuths everywhere race to solve the crimes, Jane and her friends are determined to beat them. But the case turns out to be stranger than anyone expected. Details don't make sense, the police are cagey, and there seems to be more media hype and internet theorizing than actual evidence. When Jane and her sleuths take a step closer, they find that every answer only leads to more questions. Something's not adding up, and they begin to suspect their killer may be smarter and more prolific than any murderer they've faced before. Placing themselves in the centre of the story starts to feel more and more like walking into a trap.
One year after the astounding events that concluded the case and left the world reeling, Jane decides to break her silence and reveal the true story behind the Delphine Massacres. And what she has to confess will shock even the most seasoned true crime fans.
