I truly enjoyed Ashley Winstead's latest, This Book Will Bury Me. The plot moved very fast and that kept it really intriguing. I truly was taken for a ride through the main character's recollection of events that happened a year prior. I found the premise - a true crime community getting involved in a criminal investigation - really interesting, as I think it did reckon with the complications of armchair detective-ing that those communities tend to do.

The way the story is told, you really feel like you were in the story with Jane, and it gave me similar vibes as The Naturals series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (which I really liked!).

Overall this book kept me extremely entertained and I would recommend it to anyone interested in a true crime community mystery. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Note: There is a small plotline of fatphobia as a person's heart attack is implied to be a product of solely high weight, but it didn't take me totally out of the story, just something to be mindful of!
