Body in the Books

 This novella, Body in the Books is by Heather Huffman.   It's a wonderful new series set in St. Augustine, FL.  Nora Jones has inherited her estranged uncle, Walter's estate but there are plenty of unanswered questions that came with this gift.    As the story progresses Nora's group of friends become more and more like family and you cannot help but enjoy their relationships.  I thoroughly enjoy the story of Pru and her disorder which causes her to be affected by sound in an extraordinary way.  The mystery in the book was intriguing and extremely well written I enjoyed finding out what happened to Walter.  I look forward to reading the next book and seeing how the story evolves.
