Nuts and Buried is the third installment in the A Nut House Mystery series. Lindy Blanchard is busy researching and developing a new strain of drought resistant pecan trees for her family farm and business in Riverville, Texas.
The whole Blanchard family, Meemaw Miss Amelia, sister Bethany, brother Justin and mother Emma are invited to the wedding party for Lindy's best friend Eugene Wheatley and his new bride Jeannie. Eugene is an avid gun collector and is eager to display his collection to the guests but unfortunately he is found dead in his study.
Elizabeth Wheatley, Eugene's sister, is adamant that the death is all Jeannie's fault. First she tries to convince everyone that Eugene committed suicide because he was unhappy with the decision to marry Jeannie, but then changes her tune and claims that Jeannie's money hungry mother and ex convict brother Billy killed him to claim access to the Wheatley family fortune.
Determined to help clear Jeannie's name, Lindy sets off with the help of her police officer boyfriend Hunter Austen and her investigator grandmother Miss Amelia. Evidence points to something fishy going on within the Wheatley family and Lindy also has her hands full fending off the advances of Peter Franklin, a fellow scientist interested in her pecan studies.
A terrific romp with a great cast of characters and a new dog, Flasher.
