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!
