Publisher's summary

I used to think that I'd escaped Southport....
Now I realised Southport had been coming for me all this time.

Erin Sloane was 16 when high school senior Andre Villiers was murdered by his friends. They were her friends, too, led by the intense, charismatic Ricky Hell. Five people went into West Cypress Woods the night Andre was murdered. Only three came out.

Ativan, alcohol and distance had dimmed Erin's memories of that time. But nearly 20 years later, an ageing father will bring her home. Now a journalist, she is asked to write a story about the Southport Three and the thrill-kill murder that electrified the country. Erin's investigation propels her closer and closer to a terrifying truth. And closer and closer to danger.

An unforgettable story of murder, trauma and childhoods lost, I Shot the Devil is a taut debut novel from an electrifying new talent.

Spooky but okay

Lorelei King could read me the terms and conditions of any purchase and I would be spellbound.
This was a kinda convoluted story with difficult threads to follow, saved by the narration.
