Janeway Sharp, after the unexpected death of her father, is looking for a distraction and becomes obsessed with true crime and the online true crime forums. She quickly is invited into a small group who become her found family, and they teach her the ins and outs of armchair detective work.
When three college girls in Idaho are brutally murdered, the forums go crazy trying to solve the crime. Jane and her friends are right in the thick of it - but things take unexpected turns, and things aren't what they seem.
This book is well written, and although I suspected the twist before it happened, I was engrossed enough to finish in a few days. Very suspenseful, with a main character who is on-again off-again likable. Some of her decisions were maddening.
I enjoyed the found family dynamic, the slow burn pacing, and the authentic way Jane's grief was written, as well as the crime forum conversations.
There is an uncomfortable closeness to the real-life Idaho case, and there are graphic murder scene descriptions, but I would recommend this book to those who love dark thrillers.
Expected publication March 25, 2025
