Another enjoyable and fast-paced thriller from L.M. Chilton deals with the ramifications of social media, cancel culture, and journalistic ethics, all while telling a 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'-esque whodunit about a group of former flatmates being picked off following a traumatic incident one year prior. The characterisation outside of the lead isn't the strongest, but the mystery is strong and it has the hallmarks of another fun murder mystery from Chilton,

A fast-paced, dark funny thriller where secrets unravel, paranoia rises and chaos ensues. Clever twists and sharp humour but the different time lines made it a confusing read at times

I was pretty excited about this one, I like a humorous thriller something that does a bit of everything. So I was excited when I got this book.

It did not deliver for me, I found it irritating and boring. I liked the writing style so I would try this author again I just found the characters irritating. I couldnt get through it and I didnt want to know what happened to them.

I will give it one star because we must and one star because I didnt finish it.

Thank you for the ARC but I could not continue. I think others will like this based on what I read… I am hopeful for the author this is a hit.

So. Much. Fun…
Just who exactly is the Crowhurst Killer? A group of flatmates, an obnoxious landlord, a dead end town, a chat group, social media sleuthing galore and the odd local spree killer. Kirby Cornell, local journalist finds herself in a whole heap of deadly trouble in this murderous romp with a deftly drawn cast of eclectic characters and a fast moving plot populated with much dark comedy and quirky one liners. Compelling and just.. so much fun.

Kirby receives a Whatsapp notification from a group chat that has been inactive for a long time. The message is from Esme, an ex-flatmate, saying 'miss me?' The weird thing is, Esme died twelve months ago.

I found a lot of the book difficult to follow due to the conversations that went off on tangents about random topics, coupled with the two different timelines.
