Everyone in the Group Chat Dies

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.

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,

"Everyone in the group chat dies" is a mystery/thriller book that keeps you hooked until the end. I couldn't stop reading and formulating my own ideas about the plot and where things were going.
The book is really well written and it made me laugh at times, feel excited in other moments and even cry a bit.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book for people who love a good story surrounded by mystery and with well written characters.

I enjoyed this book, it was a fast paced thriller with an interesting concept. I found the focus on armchair and online detectives to be novel and added an extra layer of intrigue to the plot.

I very much enjoyed this writer's previous novel about the perils of online dating, and this new story is no less entertaining. Not to mention, topical in its treatment of issues such as our social media activities and obsessions with true crime and podcasts.

When the MC receives a message in the nearly-defunct group chat that she shares with her ex-flatmates, the warning that everyone on the group chat will die is bad enough. But it is made considerably worse by the fact that the apparent sender of the message died a year ago!

Fast-paced and funny, you'll glide through this one, giggling frequently along the way.

Thank the Crow I was selected for an ARC of this book. I loved Don't Swipe Right so leapt at the chance to read this new book early. I was definitely not disappointed!

It is set in 2 time periods (present and one year earlier) which I really liked and kept the intrigue going as present day Kirby would allude to things that past Kirby was going to experience.

Overall, the setting had a very Hot Fuzz meets Making a Murderer small town feel to it, which I really enjoyed as that's always an eerie setting, and I was kept guessing right to the end about the murderer's identity.
