Buried in a Good Book is the debut of the By the Book Mysteries series set in the remote town of Winthrop, and featuring mystery thriller writer, Tess Harrow and her sassy 14 year old daughter, Gertie. After a messy divorce, Tess decides to leave the city and spend a month at her Grandfather's cabin in order to unwind and finish her latest manuscript. The problem - there is no electricity, no Wi-Fi and no running water, not the ideal situation for an already disgruntled teen. Within minutes of arrival at the cabin, a series of explosions results in fish (and body parts) raining down from the property's pond.

Tess soon finds herself embroiled in a mystery that not even she could have plotted for her main character Detective Gonzales, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Winthrop's real life Sheriff Victor Boyd. Between Bigfoot sightings, exotic animals, whacky locals and the mysterious bookmobile librarian Nicki Nickerson, Tess begins to wonder if leaving the city was such a good idea.

A fun, laugh out loud plot that will keep you turning the pages from beginning to end. I can't wait to see what happens next with Tess and Gertie, and highly recommend giving this new series a read.
