An exciting and fresh new book-themed cozy mystery series from author Tamara Berry!

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, neighbours 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 Gonzalesβ€”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 onβ€”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 probablyβ€”definitelyβ€”hiding something.
  • The tiny mountain town that seems less than troubled by a sudden abundance of murders.

Aunt Agatha's Best of: Cozies 2022

"I love this book...A murder, a short list of suspects and wild sightings plague this enticingly intriguing whodunit." – Dru's Book Musings

"It's a slapstick comedy of murder...fans of quirky small-town cozies, such as Joan Hess's 'Maggody' mysteries, might want to try this." – Library Journal

"This first in series is truly original, funny, and well written. A real standout." – Mystery Scene
