Buried Leads is the third book in the Avery Shaw mystery series.  I have read all 3 & each one gets better & better.  Avery is a smart-aleck crime reporter for a small newspaper in Macomb County, Michigan.  Even though she doesn't mean to, although you'd never prove it by talking to all who know her, she once again becomes part of the story instead of just reporting it.She comes from an extremely "eccentric" family, & as Eliot, her boyfriend, states, it explains some of why she is the way she is.  Joining Avery in this book are her hunky, ex-boyfriend Sheriff Jake, cousin Lexi just back from rehab, cousin Derrek, & the Monitor newspaper motley crew, oh & least I forget best friend Carly who is still calling off her wedding at the drop of a hat.  Avery starts out the book reporting on the disappearance of a missing wife & mother from a neighboring town.  You will laugh at Avery's sarcastic quips & crazy Star Wars outfits. (made me want to google & try to buy some of the t-shirts!)  The first chapter alone is worth the price of the book!  It had me laughing out loud.Check this book out.  While you can read this book without reading the other two, I suggest you read them in order.  They are quick reads (I did all three in two days!)  You will enjoy the series more that way.  I can't wait for book #4.  Now I am going to try out Amanda M. Lee's other book, Any Witch Way You Can.  If the Avery Shaw series is any indication, that book should be great too.
