 Audiobook

Reeling from the sudden death of her father, 24-year-old Jane seeks solace in the world of online true crime sleuths. Quitting college and losing her job, Jane becomes obsessed with helping a group of other sleuths solve crimes. As they gain more success and notoriety, so too does their confidence. Different ages, sexes, and stages of life, the group bonds and decides to take on the case of murdered sorority girls. However, as quickly as notoriety is gained, so too is public scorn.

Disclaimer - I was not aware of the recent actual murders in Idaho that the internet tells me are very similar to the events in the book. I hope the author makes more of a link.

The story is overall pretty good. The story does drag at parts but keeps a good pace overall. However, the breadcrumbs of the killer are very obvious early on. But I still enjoyed learning more about the group of sleuths and can see the draw and thrill of getting involved. However, I felt Jane's investigation into her father was distracting. Also, "official FBI consultants" was a stretch.

Thank you, Netgalley and Tantor Audio, for the Advanced Listening Copy. All Opinions are my own.
