When Lila Wilkins loses her job as a reporter for a local newspaper, she signs on as an intern with A Novel Idea literary agency in Inspiration
Valley, North Carolina. On her first day on the job, she finds a
vagrant dead on the reception area sofa. It turns out the dead man was
an aspiring author who brought his query letter to the agency every day
for many years, but none of the literary agents ever read the query.
No one at the agency seems interested and the police are working on an
arson fire with two fatalities, so Lila feels obligated to investigate.
The cast of quirky agents and a long hidden truth leads Lila through a
maze of clues and suspects. While she investigates, she still needs to
read 100 query letters a day to keep her job.
When one of the agents is killed, Lila fears someone from the agency may be involved. The story
twists and turns and I enjoyed the journey.
Buried in a Book is the first in A Novel Idea series written by
Lucy Arlington.
