This Book Will Bury Me by Ashley Winstead

4.5

---

I really liked this one, as a fan of true crime, I really related to it. I'm not involved the way some people are with Reddit and other sites, but who doesn't follow the news, wonder and try to solve the crime themselves. I liked the concept of the book being told by one of them and setting the story straight on what really happened. My only gripe with this is HOW much it takes from a very real crime that is still being investigated and going through the motions of trial. I figured out a pretty big chunk of the twists and to me it seemed a bit predictable but I still really enjoyed how it shaped up and came out. The ending I 100% was not expecting. I think this did a great job showcasing how amateur sleuths can help but also hinder real life investigations and lives. Overall, not my favorite Ashley Winstead book (looking at you The Last Housewife) but still up there and on par with her other magnificent thriller/mystery reads!

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
