A thoughtfully curated mystery thriller — wrapped and ready to discover.

This selection plays with the true crime obsession in the most satisfying way — using it against you. It's funny, it's twisty, and it earns both the laughs and the unease. The narrator can't be fully trusted, the town can't stop talking, and the reader can't stop turning pages. A Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for 2024, it was chosen for its genre-savvy wit and the way it makes you question everything while thoroughly enjoying the ride.

What You'll Unwrap:

  • One hand-selected mystery thriller (trade paperback)
  • Clue-based curation to preserve surprise
  • Bookmark, pen, and highlighter
  • A stationery item
  • A drink pairing
  • Bookish stickers
  • Gift-ready wrapping

Unwrap it when you want a mystery that makes you laugh even as it keeps you guessing.
