"A quirky story for those who enjoy funny cozies." - Library Journal
In the aftermath of solving their first murder, bestselling author Tess Harrow and her teenage daughter Gertrude have decided to make Winthrop their home. Their cabin is fixed up and now they're turning to the family hardware store that Tess inherited from her late grandfather into the town's first independent bookstore.
But when renovations unearth bones from a cold case and send them toppling - literally - onto Tess's head, the work comes to a grinding halt. With the whole town convinced that her grandfather was a serial killer, Tess has to call in a fellow horror author for reinforcements.
Together, they'll come up with a perfect story to make all the clues fit…and solve a mystery more than thirty years in the making.
Put your sleuthing hat on and dive into another unforgettable cosy murder mystery!

Award-winning author Tamara Berry delivers a page-turning murder mystery with the first instalment in her engrossing cosy crime series – one not to be missed by fans of Richard Osman and The Marlow Murder Club!
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 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.
Where will these clues lead?
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
Put your sleuthing hat on and dive into an unforgettable cosy murder mystery!
