This Book Will Bury Me: Ashley Winstead

Told a year on from the events that unfurl, Jane is finally ready to tell the world what really happened, and how her and her amateur sleuths got embroiled in a series of murders that took the world by storm as they hunted for the illusive, mysterious killer.

Why suggest books that haven't even come out yet? There is zero chance I will remember that book by the time it comes out in March.

Illusive???? So the killer isn’t real????

I’ve done this several Times with different selections but get the same result each time, must be pushing that book for some reason. I’ll be lining elsewhere for options during the year

I’ve not heard of it but sounds like Buzzfeed might have suggested a book that’s not absolute trash for once?!
