About the book
Bestselling thriller writer Tess Harrow is on the brink of desperation when she arrives at her grandfather's rustic cabin in the woods with her teenage daughter. Her hope is that this retreat will provide a healing and bonding opportunity for them both following Tess's recent divorce. However, their tranquility is shattered as soon as they step inside, as an explosion rocks the cabin and a bizarre rain of fish guts and even a human arm follows.
Initially, Tess struggles to persuade her daughter Gertie that a summer without Wi-Fi and modern comforts could be an exciting adventure. Now, she finds herself unexpectedly drawn into a murder investigation, rumors abound of Bigfoot sightings in the woods nearby, and to top it off, the local sheriff bears a striking resemblance to Detective Gabriel Gonzales, the protagonist of Tess's novels - much to his annoyance.
With more at stake than just her daughter's summer plans, Tess must use all of her wits to crack the case before further harm comes to anyone in the community. Can she solve the mystery before it's too late?
Praise for this book
This first in series is truly original, funny, and well written. A real standout.
A slapstick comedy of murder.
