My Cozy Autumn Mystery: Gilmore Girls meets Agatha Christie

It’s been a blast writing about pumpkins and misty graveyards in the heat of summer. As I write this, I’m sitting at our kitchen table while my toddler naps, listening to Spotify’s “fall jazz” station, enjoying a pumpkin spice candle, and inhaling my cinnamon coffee. Yes. This is my happy place.

I’m so excited for this project and I’m finally ready to reveal the title! So here it is:

A vibrant book cover with the title 'Read & Buried', featuring illustrations of autumn leaves, pumpkins, an old house, and a decorative border, promoting a book about a mystery set in a book club and pumpkin patch, with a release date of September.

If you like the cozy charm of Gilmore Girls and the mystery of Agatha Christie, you’ll love this book! (Part 1 will be free for newsletter subscribers! You can sign up here.)

Description:

When Marie Lynell moves to a farm with her husband and kids to open a pumpkin patch, she discovers a disturbing mystery buried beneath the surface. She and her bookclub of moms are well-versed in solving mysteries (at least in books), and follow the footsteps of a missing librarian and her young daughter from 100 years before. More details to come!

A mood board featuring elements for a short story, including a cozy woman reading, autumn leaves, a full moon, a vintage house, a pumpkin patch at sunset, and a cup of coffee.

I want to hear from you!

What’s your favorite mystery?

Mine? I know “Jane Eyre” may not technically fall into the “mystery” category, but I think Charlotte is masterful at suspense.
