From the breakout author of Swiped comes a compulsively readable, surprisingly funny, and genuinely thrilling pageturner about a TikTok true crime investigator, a ’90s serial killer that may not be as dead as everyone would like, a text thread from hell, and long buried secrets that just won’t stay in the grave where they belong.
Kirby Cornell needs a break from everything:
- Her crumbling apartment in the sleepy town of Crowhurst (famous for its bucolic countryside and a second-rate serial killer from the ’90s).
- Her dead-end job.
- Her sleazy landlord
- Her messy roommates.
- And, most of all, the terrible thing they all did.
Luckily, that hasn’t caught up with her just yet. Until a new message on their old group chat pops up: Everyone in the group chat dies.
It’s the first text her ex-roommate Esme has sent for ages, but that’s not the really weird thing.
The really weird thing is, Esme died twelve months ago…
Don’t miss the new laugh-out-loud thriller from L.M. Chilton, a murder mystery that fuses the comedy of Friends with the serial killer thrills of I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Review:
When Kirby gets the text from her former dead room mate, she thinks it's just a prank. But as the texts keep coming, and her former room mates are meeting horrid ways of dying, she starts to wonder if something else is at hand. And being a reporter, means she's nosy and she know's there is a story, and the truth may be different than she thought it was all those years ago. As she tries to keep herself from being arrested for murder, she's trying to keep her room mates from being murdered by a murderer who is 10 steps ahead and seems to know her and her history too well. A modern twist with using text messages as a subplot, this is a laugh out loud quick read that will have you sharing the book with friends when you finish reading it!
