A very British, modern day cozy mystery that centers around a missing girl and an old murder case. Although I liked this book, I can't say that I loved it. There are probably too many characters, and not enough characterization to draw them all out, but I generally liked the way the narrative jumped back a year and then to present day. Kirby is a solid and likable lead, she has a strong voice and good instincts.

Kirby has a famous father and is a journalist. She was let go/canceled from the news outlet she wrote for in London and has taken a job with a small town rag. She has several roommates, and they are surprised when a new roommate, Esme, shows up. She has a large social media following due to her true crime investigating. And she has come to town to prove that then police were wrong about the big killing spree from the 1980's. After only a day, Esme is missing. Putting together the pieces of what happened before takes a lot of turns and twists.

Thank you to Gallery Books for the free ARC of this exciting title. Book to be published December 9, 2025.

For a comedy thriller about 30-somethings, this had the most juvenile characters, lackluster humor, and forgettable plot. The pacing didn't work for me (and I normally love a dual timeline) and the twist was... dumb. I guess I'm not surprised, but for a book called Everyone in the Group Chat Dies, there was such little time given to the group chat deaths, but even if there were, the characters were so flat I'm not sure it would have helped.
