Don't miss the new laugh-out-loud thriller from L.M. Chilton, Everyone in the Group Chat Dies – a murder mystery that fuses the flatmate comedy of Friends with the serial-killer thrills of I Know What You Did Last Summer. Kirby Cornell needs a break from everything: - Her crumbling flat in the sleepy town of Crowhurst (famous for its award-winning sausage rolls and a second-rate serial killer from the 90s). - Her dead-end job. - Her sleazy landlord. - Her slobbish housemates. - And, most of all, the terrible thing they all did. Luckily, that hasn't caught up with her just yet. Until a new message on their old group chat pops up: Everyone in the group chat will die. It's the first text her ex-flatmate and social-media sleuth Esme has sent for ages, but that's not the really weird thing. The really weird thing is, Esme died twelve months ago... Praise for L.M. Chilton: 'Kept me guessing and was so fun to read' BRITNEY SPEARS 'Murderously clever!' RUPERT HOLMES 'Utterly compelling and laugh-out-loud funny' KATY BRENT 'Rarely is murder so much fun!' RACHEL WOLF 'Hilariously dark' PLATINUM 'Humour doesn't always sit well with crime but Chilton has found the sweet spot' SUSSEX LIFE

I love a good small town mystery, with twists aplenty, and the odd red herring. I also love an injection of humour. Everyone In The Group Chat Dies provided both. 📱
I'm going to assume that you have read the blurb, so I'm not going to rehash it. The story is told from the POV of Claire 'Kirby' Cornell, and is told across two timelines; present day, and twelve months ago.
It's fast paced, and an oh so entertaining, quick read.
All of the characters are likeable, even the bad guy. When the big reveal came, let me just say, I did not see that coming! 😮
I loved this book. I devoured this book. Would I recommend it to everyone? You bet I would.
Thanks to Aries Fiction, Head of Zeus and Netgalley for the digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.
