Buried in a Book

Description

After receiving her first pink slip at the age of forty-five, former newspaper journalist Lila Wilkins is desperate to find a job -- even if it means taking a pay cut. After combing through the classifieds, Lila accepts an internship at A Novel Idea, a thriving literary agency in the utopian town of Inspiration Valley, North Carolina. Lila can't imagine anything better than being paid to read, but with a crew of quirky co-workers and a sky-high stack of query letters, she doesn't actually have much time to discover the next bestseller -- especially after a penniless aspiring author drops dead in the agency's waiting room. No one else seems particularly concerned about the man's demise, but when Lila uncovers a series of threatening letters associated with the dead man, she's determined to uncover what -- or who -- killed his dreams of literary success.
