About the book
Bestselling author Tess Harrow and her teenage daughter Gertrude have made the decision to settle down in Winthrop. Their cabin is now all set up, and they are now focusing on transforming the family hardware store that Tess inherited from her late grandfather into the town's first independent bookstore.
However, when the renovations reveal bones from a cold case and these bones fall - quite literally - onto Tess's head, the project comes to a sudden stop. With the entire town believing that her grandfather may have been a serial killer, Tess must reach out to another horror writer for help. Together, they will craft the perfect narrative to connect all the pieces together and unravel a mystery that has been shrouded in secrecy for more than three decades.
Praise for this book
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.
