THE INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER

From bestselling author Ashley Winstead comes a chilling psychological thriller that explores the dark heart of digital obsession, collective grief, and what happens when murder becomes entertainment.

After losing her father, college student Jane Sharp finds solace--and purpose--in the strange intimacy of online true crime forums. Among armchair detectives and anonymous sleuths, she becomes someone new: sharp-eyed, fast-thinking, celebrated. But when the brutal deaths of three college girls in Delphine, Idaho spark a viral frenzy, Jane and her online friends become part of the investigation.

This time, they aren't just watching from behind a screen. This time, they're in it.

But every clue uncovers more contradictions. The town seems scripted, the police too polished, and the killer always one step ahead. As Jane inches closer to the truth, she begins to suspect they've walked into something far more dangerous than a mystery.

Now, one year later, Jane is ready to tell the true story. What she's about to reveal will change everything.

Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, This Book Will Bury Me is a gripping confessional of digital justice, dangerous fame, and the price of being seen.

Tense, emotional, and thought-provoking, This Book Will Bury Me is more than a thriller--it's a warning. For anyone who's ever binged a crime doc, shared a theory, or chased justice from their phone, Jane's confession will haunt you long after the final line.
