I think part of my dislike of the book was the narrator. However, part of it was also how obvious the main murderer was. I still think the ending was clever.
Overall, a mixed bag of a book, I think the sleuths were an interesting POV to come at the book from, and most of them were loveable, though Jane was annoying and frustrating at times.

Written in the form of a true crime tell-all memoir, THIS BOOK WILL BURY ME is the story of Jane Sharp and her amateur investigation into the brutal murders of college students in Delphine, Idaho.
Ashley Winstead’s brain is one of my all-time favorite brains. I was absolutely hooked on this book from the very first sentence and devoured it over a couple of sittings because I didn’t want to put it down. The twists, the turns, and the reveals, not to mention the tenderness and heart and poignancy and grief kept me absolutely glued to the page. I love a thriller with a narrator who makes some morally questionable choices and this one absolutely gives us that—the framing of it as a “true crime” memoir is also super compelling and made me really enjoy the narration (I read this with my eyeballs but I bet it will make a fantastic audiobook as well!)
The writing here is also PHENOMENAL. It’s accessible and engaging while still being thoughtful, sharp, and evocative, and the reflections on grief, humanity, and death were all works of genius. It’s the rare novel that is able to be equal parts art and entertainment, and this is one is exactly that.
THIS BOOK WILL BURY ME is out in March and I cannot WAIT for the world to have it. I say this every time, but this one might be Ashley’s best novel yet!
