Synopsis

From the breakout author of Swiped comes a compulsively readable, surprisingly funny, and genuinely thrilling pageturner about a TikTok true crime investigator, a ’90s serial killer that may not be as dead as everyone would like, a text thread from hell, and long buried secrets that just won’t stay in the grave where they belong.

Kirby Cornell needs a break from everything:

- Her crumbling apartment in the sleepy town of Crowhurst (famous for its bucolic countryside and a second-rate serial killer from the ’90s).
- Her dead-end job.
- Her sleazy landlord
- Her messy roommates.
- 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 dies.

It’s the first text her ex-roommate Esme has sent for ages, but that’s not the really weird thing.

The really weird thing is, Esme died twelve months ago…

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 comedy of Friends with the serial killer thrills of I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Wordy, very very wordy - didn't have it be as long as it was. SO MUCH DIALOGUE Great story just felt like the ending was over a couple of chapters (too quick). so it took ages to get there and then it was over.......more

Goodreads review by Erin on May 23, 2025

For a comedy thriller about 30-somethings, this had the most juvenile characters, lackluster humor, and forgettable plot. The pacing didn't work for me (and I normally love a dual timeline) and the twist was... dumb. I guess I'm not surprised, but for a book called Everyone in the Group Chat Dies, t......more

Goodreads review by The Bookish Elf on December 14, 2025

There's something uniquely unsettling about receiving a WhatsApp message from someone who died a year ago. L.M. Chilton's sophomore thriller opens with this exact premise, plunging readers into a darkly comedic murder mystery that dissects our obsession with true crime, the toxicity of social media......more

Quotes

"Narrator Kimberly Capero transports listeners to the quiet town of Crowhurst, England, in this gripping audiobook. The town is known for its local paper, annual fair, and a series of gruesome murders that occurred in decades past. Capero faithfully delivers the perspective of journalist-turned-detective Kirby Cornell and recounts the many mistakes she makes to keep her friends safe when the Crowhurst Killer returns. To the untrained ear, Capero's array of English accents may sound similar, but her ability to mimic both the crisp voices of posh Londonites and the slang of the rural born and bred will impress listeners from start to finish. Capero is fully believable as an English investigative journalist on the hunt for a serial killer in her small town."
