Jane Sharp enters the world of online sleuthing and quickly gets engrossed in a homicide case where three young college girls were stabbed to death in Idaho, with little to no evidence left behind. Jane and her online sleuthing team decide it’s their case to solve and get wrapped up more than she could have imagined into this case, crossing many moral and legal lines in the process.

I don’t even know where to start. I loved every second of this book–the way it was written (like an autobiography by Jane trying to clear her name), the online sleuthing forums (which made me have feelings about people who butt into other people’s business just because they think they can solve a case better than the cop’s can) and the overall storyline. I could not get enough of this book. Now, I will say other people who have reviewed this book took issue with it because of the similar aspects to the actual Idaho college murders, but if you read the note from the author at the very beginning of the book she lays out the cases that inspired this book and the Idaho college murders is one of them. She states that if any of the cases she took inspiration from are sensitive subjects then maybe this isn’t the book for you. That being said, this book was so good! I have never hated/rooted for a main character so much in a book. I both wanted her to fail, because let's leave the investigating to the professionals, and also wanted her to succeed, because you could tell that solving this case was something she deeply needed in her life to give her purpose.

*UPDATE* I read this book about 3ish months ago and yes, at the time I said I had no issue with it being based on the real life Idaho murders. I have now watched a couple Dateline episodes about the real murders and the recent Amazon documentary series. After watching those and realizing just how much information she used from the real case, I am kinda disturbed. I knew the basics of the case but not the gory details. Now knowing them, I am, as I said, disturbed that she blatantly copied the whole case. So yeah, now I really don’t know how I feel about the book or what I would rate it as.
