L.M. Chilton’s new novel, Everyone in the Group Chat Dies, is a satirical whodunnit mystery that follows Kirby, a late-twenty-something millennial who is suddenly at odds with and swept up in the mysterious disappearance of her new roommate, a Gen-Z, tech savvy armchair detective with an impressive social media following.
Set in the fictional town of Crowhurst in the UK, we follow Kirby as she struggles to simultaneously hide and uncover the truth of what happened in her sleepy English town. I recently spoke with L.M. Chilton about the conflict between generations and how his lived experiences played a hand in crafting this story.
Everyone in the Group Chat Dies by L.M. Chilton was published by Gallery/Scout Press.
