This Book Will Bury Me | Ashley Winstead

From the acclaimed author of In My Dreams I Hold a Knife and Midnight is the Darkest Hour comes a chilling, compulsive story of five amateur sleuths, whose hunt for an elusive killer catapults them into danger as the world watches. It's the most famous crime in modern history. But only she knows the true story. 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 add up, 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 begs more questions. Something's not adding up, and they begin to suspect their killer may be smarter and more prolific than any they've faced before. Placing themselves in the center of the story starts to feel more and more like walking into a trap... Told one year after the astounding events that concluded the case and left the world reeling, when Jane has finally decided to break her silence about what really happened, she tells the true story of the Delphine Massacres. And what she has to confess will shock even the most seasoned true crime fans...

Almost called in sick to finish this book, I loved it! The last book of hers I read for a book club and it was so fun to talk about the different elements, I wish I had someone to talk to about this book too!

Perhaps because this is the fifth book of the author‘s that I have read and I have come to cherish, trust and respect her, I don‘t view the true crime inspiration for this novel as disrespectful. Winstead is an intellectual and an artist, and she is transparent about the autobiographical aspect and real life inspiration from the beginning.

BirdLaVie She had lost herself in other‘s pain while spiraling in her own, and this novel is not an attempt to profit off of tragedy: it is her confession.

I thought it was a moving work dripping with rich emotional complexity and deep intellectual curiosity at the ways in which all of our human pain collides.

I liked this book much better than In My Dreams I Hold a Knife. Even though I had a feeling about the villain, I was still kept guessing. Jane‘s decision at the very end really surprised me, but it made sense. Since I finished this early in my #audiowalk, I continued with Eloquent Rage, which I‘ve been listening to for #SheSaid.

I am not sure who recommended this book, but I am glad they did. It grabbed me quickly and was fast-paced. I thought it was a good psychological thriller.

🙂 Happy Reading 😊

Some of Jane‘s decisions here are really questionable, and she knows it since she doesn‘t tell anyone until the thing is done or it‘s too late to change course. Beautiful day. #audiowalk

After a few days of rain, thunderstorms, and flooding, we finally had a beautiful day today. Sun, a nice breeze — if a little cold. I was comfortable in long pants. I haven‘t decided if I like the characters in this book yet, but I can empathize with them, so that‘s enough. #audiowalk

TBH highly disappointed in lack of FMC growth & substantial plot in Bond That Burns until the last 25%. At least that is one of my #readyourkindle down for the month. Highly recommend the audiobook for tagged. The narrator was phenomenal! The #netgalley #arc was my favorite. Unique in a genre thats heavily overpopulated now with so much action/political drama.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 3w

Overall, an entertaining but slightly predictable mystery thriller involving amateur sleuths. Very engaging and fast read and I do recommend! 4⭐️

If you're reading this, chances are last year you flipped on the news and saw me getting shoved to my knees in the dirt, hands wrested behind my back, gun-toting FBI agents swarming like abts around me into that three-story house.

This book was phenomenally clever. Not a boring moment in it either. A fictional book based on the Idaho murders? - Count me in!

Ok, I read In My Dreams I Hold a Knife because I liked the title. I didn‘t love it, but I didn‘t hate it either, so, again, because I like the title to her new book, I‘ve decided to listen to it for my #audiowalk. I hope I like it better than her first one.

TheLudicReader I loved the title of her first book, too, but also didn‘t love it. It showed promise, though, so I bought her next one, The Last Housewife, and really liked it and I loved the next one, Midnight is the Darkest Hour, and so I have high hopes for this one. 3w
KathyWheeler @TheLudicReader Good to hear that the other books were good. I haven‘t read them. 3w

I think this may be Winstead‘s best book yet! I couldn‘t put it down! Narrator Janeway Sharp finds herself falling down a true crime rabbit hole as a distraction from the grief of suddenly losing her father. With a multimedia feel, & inspired by familiar cases with fresh twists, this riveting read is well-plotted & raises questions on amateur sleuthing, mob mentality & the aftermath of loss. Well-written with lifelike characters & genuine emotion!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The reading experience of this book was completely engrossing and absolutely chilling. The epitome of “unputdownable”. It appeals to the head (interrogating the allure of true crime and the double-edged sword of the online sleuthing community) and the heart (it‘s equally a moving investigation of grief and the compulsion to doggedly search for sometimes unknowable answers). ⬇️

ICantImReading The picture is of the author‘s note at the beginning of the book. I have seen some reviews questioning her reasoning for drawing from real, ongoing cases, and I thought this provided valuable insight on her thought processes and intentions. I do feel a bit conflicted and find the discourse around this to be worthwhile and interesting. (edited) 1mo
