Novel Idea Mysteries Synopsis: In Buried in a Book by Lucy Arlington (book 1 of the series), Lila Wilkins has lost her job as a journalist, so she takes an internship at A Novel Idea literary agency.

But when a poor author-to-be dies in the Novel Idea’s waiting room and Lila finds some threatening letters, she decides to look into whodunnit.
