I loved the comment on the back of Buried in a Good Book (first in the By the Book Mystery series by Tamara Berry): "turns out solving a real crime is more difficult than writing about it ..."

Well known mystery author Tess Harrow and her daughter are looking to escape real life for a while and have come to a remote cabin she owns in the Okanogan. Instead of peace and quiet she finds a body. Or rather, parts of a body. On her property. The local detective (who has read her books, and says they are inaccurate) is not thrilled with her involvement . Then there are the sightings of Bigfoot, a lynx cub, and some toucans! Putting it all together was fun!
