Everyone in the Group Chat Dies

by L.M. Chilton

Genres: Amateur Sleuth; Crime Fiction; Suspense

Synopsis

A deliciously thrilling new novel about a mysterious threat that puts targets on the backs of a group of roommates, from the author behind the “darkly funny, hilariously twisty, and completely charming” (Jennifer Close, New York Times bestselling author) Swiped.

Kirby Cornell needs a break—particularly from her crumbling apartment in a sleepy town that is only known for serial killer in the ’90s, her dead-end job, her sleazy landlord, her sloppy 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 in their old group chat pops up from ex-roommate Esme: “Everyone in the group chat will die.” The threat isn’t the most disconcerting part of this—it’s the fact that Esme died a year ago.

With his signature “plot twists and wicked” (Margarita Montimore, USA TODAY bestselling author) prose, L.M. Chilton proves that he is a wickedly entertaining author to look out for.
