"In 'Keystone Kops'–style scenes set around the morgue, a muddy mountain, and the hardware store, bones and books disappear and reappear…[On Spine of Death] is a quirky story for those who enjoy funny cozies."―Library Journal

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.

Ramble-y Teaserish Stuff

I'm only a third of the way through the follow-up to Buried in a Good Book (which I absolutely loved, by the way), but it's release date is today and I already know that it's going to be just as good as its predecessor. It may very well even end up being better since the main characters have already been introduced and the relationships between them underway.

Yes, this is where I tell you to go read the first one first.

It's like I'm a broken record or something.

It's cozy. It's gritty. It's hilarious. 

It's going to be far too long until the next installment is released in May 2023!
