Bones Under the Floorboard
Tess Harrow has decided to turn her grandfather’s old hardware store into a bookstore, which requires quite a bit of work. Unfortunately, that work uncovers two sets of bones – both from women who had disappeared from town without a trace years ago and years apart from each other. Worried that her late grandfather will become convicted in public opinion if not by the law, she starts looking into the case. But can Tess figure out what really happened?

Honestly, my teaser just scratches the surface of what is going on in this twisty book. There were some creative surprises, yet everything came together for a logical climax. There was one plot point that felt a little out there to me, but it was minor. And that’s saying something, too, since this is a wacky book with plenty of laughs along the way. I do appreciate the subtle change in tone as we get closer to reaching the climax. The characters, while a bit wacky as well, are still grounded enough to make us care about the outcome. If you are looking for something twisty and fun, you’ll be glad you picked up this book.
