Buried In The Basement: Book 6 of the Briarwood Cozy Mystery Series

Some secrets refuse to stay buried... and in Briarwood, the past always finds its way to the surface.

When Emily Rodriguez agrees to help a friend restore an old Briarwood building, she never expects to uncover a decades-old skeleton sealed behind the basement wall. What begins as a curious discovery quickly unravels into a deadly mystery-one that will shake the town's polished fa蓷de and expose the buried secrets its founding families swore to protect.

As the owner of The Corner Brew caf? Emily's life usually revolves around coffee, customers, and the occasional yoga class-not police tape and evidence markers. But her knack for noticing details others overlook has made her the unofficial sleuth of Briarwood. And when her close friend becomes a suspect, Emily can't stand idly by while the truth stays entombed in silence.

Teaming up once again with Detective Joseph Brown, Emily delves deep into the town's archives, uncovering a tangled history of lies, blackmail, and revenge. The deeper they dig, the more dangerous the trail becomes. A power outage during a thunderstorm, a mysterious figure lurking near her caf? and a series of cryptic notes remind Emily that some secrets don't like to be unearthed.

Beneath Briarwood's charming streets and friendly smiles lies a hidden world of betrayal-and someone will do anything to keep the past buried forever. When the line between justice and self-preservation blurs, Emily must decide how far she's willing to go to protect those she loves... even if it means risking everything.

Perfect for fans of cozy mystery, small town secrets, and female detective stories, Buried in the Basement delivers a page-turning mix of suspense, warmth, and humor. Set in the picturesque but perilous town of Briarwood, this latest installment in Carter Bryson's beloved series combines heart, wit, and spine-tingling intrigue in equal measure.

Join Emily as she navigates small-town gossip, family legacies, and the ghosts of Briarwood's past-one clue, one cup of coffee, and one dangerous discovery at a time.
