Kaceey's Reviews > This Book Will Bury Me

Amateur sleuths are taking over police investigations. Good idea? Or are they a more of a distraction and hindrance?
I suppose it depends on who you ask.

In her senior year of college, Jane’s father passed unexpectedly. She returns home to grieve along-side her mother. As a break from her mourning she’s drawn into the world of armchair detectives. It’s not long before she has her own handle and becomes part of a team.

When a mass killing occurs on the campus of a small Idaho University Jane and her group are front and center offering their services. The local police aren’t exactly thrilled with the offer, but the FBI see a use for this group to assist in ways that they cannot. Now these amateurs are about to enter very dangerous territory!

Can they find the serial killer before they become the next target?

There is a lot of controversy surrounding this book due to the similarities of the Idaho College murders. Please read the author’s note at the beginning of the book. She did a great job of explaining why and how she used these real and horrific murders as part of her fictional storyline.

If fiction based, true-crime events, or grief of losing a parent are triggers for you then this may not be a great fit. I knew the subject matter going in and thanks to the authors note I was prepared and ended up enjoying this latest by Ashley Winstead.
