 Creepy, Clever, and Darkly Funny

Everyone in the Group Chat Dies by L.M. Chilton is a darkly comedic thriller that blends elements of murder mystery with modern social media culture. 

The story centers on Kirby Cornell, a disillusioned aspiring journalist stuck in a dead end job and living with messy housemates in the quiet town of Crowhurst known primarily for its award-winning sausage rolls and a notorious serial killer from the 1990s.  Her mundane life takes a sinister turn when she receives a chilling message in an old group chat: "Everyone in the group chat will die."  The message is from Esme, a former flatmate and social media sleuth who died a year prior.  

The narrative unfolds through dual timelines, alternating between the present and events from a year earlier when Esme moved into Kirby's flat.  Esme was investigating the decades-old Crowhurst killings, suspecting that the real murderer was never caught.  As the past and present intertwine, Kirby is drawn into a web of secrets, lies, and a quest to uncover the truth before it's too late.  

If you're interested in a story that combines mystery, humor, and a critical look at digital culture, Everyone in the Group Chat Dies might be a great addition to your reading list.
