NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK BY Goodreads, Brit + Co, CrimeReads, ScreenRant, Culturess, Criminal Element, and more.

"An unsettling dive into the dark underbelly of true crime obsession. Merging the cerebral allure of dark academia, the moral complexities of online sleuthing and a profoundly introspective study of grief, this novel is both intellectually riveting and emotionally unsettling...a sharp critique of the voyeuristic nature of true crime fandom." -- The Seattle Times
"An unvarnished look at "true crime" obsession with an immersive, impassioned plot, fascinating characters, and a devastating, yet cathartic conclusion. "--BOLO Books
"Ashley Winstead has quickly become one of my favorite voices in the genre--there's a polish to her characters that belies their hardened interiors and wounded pasts, their favored delusions and worst decisions. Her latest may feature her most interesting and complex heroine so far: an internet sleuth, mourning the loss of her father, throws herself into investigating the high profile murders of several sorority girls, and in the process does something terribly wrong. Many authors have taken a stab at capturing the complex and exploitative ins and outs of the true crime industry and its many cold case warriors, but Winstead's is my favorite take yet."--CrimeReads
"Winstead ably tackles themes of grief, loneliness, and obsession...chilling and thought-provoking." -- Publishers Weekly
"A thoroughly modern thriller set among the sinister intersections of murder, media, and true-crime fandom." -- Goodreads
"Well-written and thoughtful, Ashley Winstead's This Book Will Bury Me is a must-read for true crime fans."--Crimespree Magazine

"Between the cheeky humor of TV's Only Murders in the Building and the grim, psychological recasting of facts through fiction and memory (as exemplified by Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl), Winstead's novel breathes life into stories that, the narrator hints, might be better off dead and buried." --Library Journal, STARRED review
"This Book Will Bury Me is a fascinating swirl of social commentary, suspense, and moving coming-of-age story. Ashley Winstead's masterful interrogation of the true crime culture and crowdsourced amateur sleuthing will stay with you long after the novel's shocking, twisty end. I couldn't put it down." -- Angie Kim, New York Times bestselling author of Happiness Falls and Miracle Creek

"This Book Will Bury Me is an absolute feast for true crime enthusiasts. Winstead invites readers into an immersive and meticulously crafted mystery, suffused with an intoxicating blend of fascination and dread that builds to a stunning climax." -- Kate Alice Marshall, bestselling author of What Lies in the Woods and No One Can Know

"Ashley Winstead, the clever queen of millennial thrillers, has written a ripped-from-the-true-crime headlines book that will stand the test of time. This Book Will Bury Me is my absolute favorite kind of thriller: compulsively readable, a fiendishly brilliant whodunnit, and a whip smart commentary on the industry of true crime. It's also a love letter to that greatest mystery of all: navigating the unknowable pockets buried deep in the hearts of the ones we love most. I laughed, I cried, I lost sleep, and I wanted to start reading it all over again as soon as I finished. Listen up, fans of My Favorite Murder: Ashley Winstead never misses!" -- Halley Sutton, USA Today bestselling author of The Hurricane Blonde

My favorite Winstead book yet!" -- Robyn Harding, bestselling author of The Haters
