The Bloody Art of the Murder Mystery

From influencer culture to internet sleuthing, our hunger for stories — and the people who spin them — can turn deadly. In Ashley Winstead’s This Book Will Bury Me, an amateur sleuth breaks her silence about an infamous massacre, recounting how an online community of armchair detectives went from solving cold cases to becoming entangled in a string of brutal murders. In Jo Piazza’s Everyone Is Lying to You, a journalist’s reunion with an old friend turned #tradwife influencer spirals into a chilling murder mystery set in the curated chaos of social media stardom. Join these two bestselling authors for a conversation about the power and peril of storytelling in the digital age and the art of writing psychological thrillers.
