But only she knows the true story.After the unexpected death of her father, college student Jane Sharp longs for a distraction from her grief. She becomes obsessed with true crime, befriending armchair detectives who teach her how to hunt killers from afar. In this morbid internet underground, Jane finds friendship, purpose, and even glory...So when news of the shocking deaths of three college girls in Delphine, Idaho takes the world by storm, and sleuths everywhere race to solve the crimes, Jane and her friends are determined to beat them. But the case turns out to be stranger than anyone expected. Details don't add up, the police are cagey, and there seems to be more media hype and internet theorizing than actual evidence. When Jane and her sleuths take a step closer, they find that every answer only begs more questions, and begin to suspect their killer may be smarter and more prolific than any they've faced before. Placing themselves in the center of the story starts to feel more and more like walking into a trap...Told one year after the astounding events that concluded the case and left the world reeling, when Jane has finally decided to break her silence about what really happened, she tells the true story of the Delphine Massacres. And what she has to confess will shock even the most seasoned true crime fans...

    "It’s what we will never know about the ones we love that binds us to them." I went into this book blind and I wish I wouldn't have. Realizing after finishing the book what I just read made me nauseous. I'm just glad that I always read library books so at least I didn't spend money on it. The author says in the synopsis that she put elements of a real crime in her book. I just didn't know that she literally took almost every single detail from a real life case. Copy and paste. At the time of the release that case hadn't even gone to trial!!!! I'm disgusted by the authors actions. While reading I found the narrative addicting to read. The short chapters, the bread-crumbing of information, the character dynamics, and the idea of a “tell all” story are quite a good concept. The snippets about the grief of losing a parent, something that the author experienced herself were truly powerful. This makes me want to shake Ashley Winstead and ask why she could'nt have made up her own bloody crime for the sake of the plot, rather than exploiting a real life trauma from a real life community. She has a top tier story on its own - she didn't need to use the notoriety of a horrific current event in order to sell the concept. It's a shame a good story had to be overshadowed by a vile, unfortuante writing decision. Please don't support this book.
