-Library Journal "This first in series is truly original funny and well written. A real
standout." -Mystery Scene 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 neighbors 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. Put your sleuthing hat
