Description

Decades of silence. A shocking discovery. Some secrets refuse to stay buried. 

True crime writer Dougal Lachlan swore he'd never set foot in Twisted Cedars again. Not even for his sister's upcoming wedding. But an email promising the story of a lifetime pulls him back to his hometown against his better judgement. 

Thirty years ago, five librarians were murdered across quiet coastal towns in Oregon, leaving a trail of unsolved mysteries. All signs point to a serial killer.

As Dougal plunges into the investigation, he enlists the help of local librarian Charlotte Hammond who, prefers her mysteries between the covers of a good book, since the disappearance of her older sister, Daisy. 

The more they dig, the more buried secrets they unearth only to realize nothing is quite what it seems, and the danger may be closer to home than they thought… 

Twisted Cedar Mysteries:

Book 1: Buried

Book 2: Forgotten

Book 3: Exposed 

Reviews:
"CJ Carmichael is a seasoned author... and this shows in A Buried Tale. She has written a fluid, easy to fall into mystery and I'm really hoping there will be more books in this series. The first installment in the Twisted Cedar Mysteries was a great read and I can't wait for more." - Cozy Reader

"One of my favorite elements of Carmichael's books is her gripping portrayal of family dynamics." Kathy Altman, USA Today

    I picked this up because I loved this authors bitter roots series. Idk but this one, while interesting overall, fell a bit flat for me. It also needs editing. From switching up days or length of time, I had to reread quite a bit to make sure I wasn’t losing my mind. There were also a number of mundane descriptions I could do without. That said, I’m curious. I feel invested in these characters life (something Carmichael does well). And while I obviously noticed my share of issues with this one, I’ll probably pick up the next one.
  • Entertaining!!!!! Excellent!!!

    While the plot seemed all too familiar and there was plenty of grammatical errors; overall a good read. The ending however felt rushed and answered some questions, leaving some unanswered.

    Starts slow but ends well.
  • No es coherente, casi pareciera un libro amateur

    Disfruto en general de los libros de misterio, pero este es bastante aburrido, no pasa nada hasta las últimas 50 páginas… por otro lado, yo que leo para practicar mi inglés y adquirir vocabulario, hallo que el autor se equivoca gramaticalmente, se confunde de nombres y hasta de pronombres “went to her notes” y hablaba de las notas del protagonista (hombre). Este tipo de detalles y el final tan miserable me dejan con la seguridad de que no quiero leer más nada de este autor: carece de misterio, mística para la escritura, historias emocionantes, no sabe cómo mantener el interés del lector… lo siento, ¡no lo recomiendo!
  • Great read!
