 True crime and mystery/thriller lovers will be hooked immediately as a college student finds herself part of a true crime podcast as a means to give her a purpose after the unexpected death of her father and her unmanageable grief. The murders and the way the amateur sleuths worked are amazing as well as very scary. Some really interesting and disturbing consequences of amateur sleuthing are portrayed as action unfolds, such as do amateur sleuths actually find clues missed by the police, do the police overlook possible scenarios because they are looking for the easiest way to solve a crime and what happens to innocent people when unsubstantiated theories are made public. I thought the way the story was told was amazing and I loved every minute of it.
