Bestselling thriller writer Tess Harrow is almost at the end of her rope when she arrives with her teenage daughter at her grandfather's rustic cabin in the woods. She hopes this will be a time for them to heal and bond after Tess's recent divorce, but they've barely made it through the door when an explosion shakes the cabin. Suddenly it's raining fish guts and...is that a human arm?

Tess was hardly convincing Gertie that a summer without Wi-Fi and running water would be an adventure. Now she's thrust into a murder investigation, neighbors are saying they've spotted Bigfoot in the woods near her cabin, and the local sheriff is the spitting image of her character Detective Gabriel Gonzales—something he's less than thrilled about. With so much more than her daughter's summer plans at stake, it's up to Tess to solve this case before anyone else gets hurt.

​Put your sleuthing hat on--Buried in a Good Book features:

• A thriller writer who knows way more than anyone should about death and dismemberment
• Her young daughter who's more intrigued by dead bodies than she probably should be
• An isolated cabin in the woods that's probably—definitely—hiding something
• The tiny mountain town that seems less than troubled by a sudden abundance of murders

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

Buried in a Good Book is the first book in the By the Book mystery series. It’s a hilarious who-dun-it that had me laughing hysterically! Our MC, Tess is a thriller writer. She and her daughter decided that in order for her to get away from her cheating ex husband they needed to take a little vacation, so they head to her grandfather’s old cabin. But the two get away more than they bargained for because just as they get there, body parts start falling from the sky! Literally. Now that doesn’t mean this is some sort of mythical novel where weird things like this just happen. Rather, someone in town was fishing with dynamite which happened to unearth a hidden body in the pond. What happens next is an epic and quite hilarious race to find the killer (or killers) before someone else ends up in pieces!

Overall, I thought this was the perfect cozy mystery! Tess is hilarious and I love the banter between her and her daughter Gertrude. While their relationship isn’t perfect and Gertrude is quite upset with having to go off the grid, the way they interact with one another is relatable and fun. I also love how Tess manages to always insert herself in the investigation despite the ornery sheriff telling her to stay out of it. I’ll tell you, those two will make you GIGGLE!

If you enjoy cozy mysteries then this is a must read, new series! I loved it and I can’t wait to read the next one!
