Buried in a Book

The small-town bookstore vibe really drew me in, but I wonder if the author based it on a real place or created it from imagination. How did that setting come to life?

I loved how the story focused on relationships and local life, but at times I wondered if the mystery took a backseat. Was that intentional to highlight the cozy atmosphere?

The book had such a lighthearted tone even during tense moments. I’m curious whether that was a conscious choice to keep it fun or just how the story naturally flowed.
