Summary

A crazy crossword conspiracy. A chilling murder. Will a green PI solve the clues without finding a deadly answer? 

With Leafy Hollow in a deep winter freeze, landscaper Verity Hawkes is all out of funds. Setting up a private investigator business seems like the best way to indulge her fantasy and make a few bucks. But she never expected her first case would turn the whole town against her. 

As she investigates a shady, million-dollar crossword competition, even her detective boyfriend sides with her neighbors in thinking it’s legit. But when the contest seems to connect with scruffy dog walkers and a missing investment advisor, Verity hopes she can solve the clues before the whole town descends into a scammy word-smithing frenzy. Between vegan food scandals and a village hoarder biting the dust, the landscaper-turned-PI has her hands full. 

With time running out, can Verity discover the phantom killer before the culprit makes it two down?

Snowed Under is the fifth standalone installment in a series of charmingly-funny cozy mysteries. If you like quirky characters, twisty plots, and laugh-out-loud moments, then you’ll love Rickie Blair’s Leafy Hollow series.

Totally loving this series of books

Once again I've thoroughly enjoyed Petrea Burchard's performance of Author Rickie Blair's work. I love her sound effects, like the cat noises, and the way she brings the characters across, always using the right voice, the right demeanor. A narrator can make or break a story and so far, in every one of the leafy hollow mysteries series, Petrea has brought the story to life. Bravo Petrea. And bravo Rickie Blair for writing such consistently listenable stories.

Enjoyable!! From start to finish.

I really enjoyed this. I sat back. I relaxed. I didn't worry about the crazy world we live in and I just enjoyed this. The narration was excellent and helped to relax me but the story was also relaxingly interesting. It's a mystery but it's not rushed. It's also not slow. It's a journey that was enjoyable. I really liked listening to this and in fact listened to it a bit faster than I expected because I just liked it!! Good writing and interesting characters.

Great any time, you don't have to wait for snow

Wow loved this one, then again I have loved every book in this series and yes I have my mum hooked on the series too. It is a stand alone book and you don't really need to listen to them in order but as I am recommending the book you might as well start at book one, you are in for a real treat if you do. I really enjoyed the plot and think it worked well in the small town of Leafy Hollow, in amongst its quirky and very lovable characters. The story is mainly told by Verity as she tracks down clues but it does also get told by a few of the other characters, which works wells for the story and helps set up some of the twists that you don't see coming. The mystery was good and it took a while before you found out which mystery Verity needed to solve, the crosswords clues, the old man's death, the bad reviews, the murder so much went on in one story that it will keep you hooked until the end. So looking forward to the next book.
With winter right around the corner and the storm of the century about to hit the small town of Sleepy Hollow, the residents finds little to look forward to, until a wallet with a clue is found and a poster is pinned to the library notice board. Who is leavening the clues? Most people don't care they just want to be the one to win the big prize. Variety Hawks is the exception and sets out to find out why someone would play a cruel hoax on her town. Her friend is also very troubled about some bad reviews her vegan shop has been getting lately and Verity sets about to investigate both mysteries. It's only after the local dog walker is found dead that she really begins to suspect that harmless games are not what the crossword puzzler had in mind. Especially as with each clue found it paints a dark picture, a picture of betrayal and murder. It doesn't help the art at the art gallery is attacked and the owner hurt, an elderly man dies and with no family around Verity takes in his dog, much to displeasure of her cat. Maybe becoming a private investigator for the winter wasn't a great idea but with no lawns that need cutting, she has to do something, right?
I really like the narrator she does such a good job with all the voices, that I can't imagine anyone else bringing the characters to life like she can.
