Publisher's summary

Verity Hawkes’ new life in Leafy Hollow almost feels whole. All the self-taught horticulturalist lacks are her Aunt Adeline and a stable relationship. Just when the second missing piece seems like it might be falling into place, Verity’s sleepy town welcomes back an all-too-familiar killer….

Suspicions run rampant when a body is found at the base of Pine Hill Peak, and the mother of Verity’s best friend is the number one suspect. To keep the wrong woman out of prison, Verity must rub shoulders with an arsonist, a hunky lawman, and a pair of dueling pastry chefs. When a scandal from the past threatens her investigation, Verity must act fast before the peak of her life becomes a valley….

A Branch Too Far is the third book in a witty series of cozy mysteries. If you like spunky heroines, laugh-out-loud humor, and charming small towns with big city crime rates, then you’ll love Rickie Blair’s Leafy Hollow series.

Very entertaining!

Another great murder mystery, that keeps you guessing until almost the last.
This has been a very good series, and each book, so far, has had drama, humor and a little romance.

Can't get enough

I am loving every minute of this series. The plucky heroine continues to find herself in the middle of trouble. With friendship, some sneaky tactics, and a lot of laughter she finds her way through once again. I highly recommend.

Black Widow Anyone?

This is Book 3 in the Leafy Hollow Mysteries. Verity Hawkes is a young widow who has inherited her aunt’s home and lawn service business in the small Canadian town of Leafy Hollow. As she settles into her new life she makes new friends and garners interest from the handsome local police officer. The disappearance of her aunt becomes more muddled and mysterious.

In this book, a well-known Black Widow murderer is released from prison and arrives back in Leafy Hollow. When a well-known member of the community dies under mysterious circumstances, Verity cannot help but get involved in sleuthing with the help of her friends. As with the previous books, this is an enjoyable listen. There is a alot of humor as well as unexpected twists and turns. I thoroughly enjoy this series and look forward to the next books in the series!

Narrator Petrea Burchard is enjoyable to listen to. She has a delightful voice to listen to and I now really identify her with Verity.
