A cozy mystery with humour

This is similiar in the previous books in that the main character has to solve a mystery that has occured in the small town she lives in.
I love the different cast of characters and the humour. Not silly humour which some other cozy mysteries seem to have.
I am glad that the same narrator was used throughout the serious. I got used to her voicing the characters, so I knew without being told who was talking.
Would highly recommend this book.

Couldn't stop reading but didn't want it to end!

So far I have loved each of the Leafy Hollow Mystery series, and I'm rather pleased to say that I think Rickie Blair saved the very best 'til now. If this is simply because they are wonderful, and just get better and better, then I can't wait for the next one!

As always, the story flows at a good pace and the reader is swiftly plunged into adventure and excitement, along with a few of Verity's usual blunders and spills, which only add to her charm. The narration is clear and easy to follow, and Petrea Burchard's different voices and inflection add an additional dimension, making the story quite addictive.

Rickie Blair's writing and Petrea Burchard's narration truly work well together.

Brilliant Third Book In The Series

I don't usually read this type of book but I got totally hooked after reading the first book and second books( watch out for my reviews of these coming soon). I really enjoyed getting to know the wonderful characters. This is a really exciting cozy mystery novel with a great plot and plenty of humour, adventure and a dash of romance.
The plot is exciting and has plenty of twists and turns which kept me guessing right until the end.
The whole experience is enhanced by the excellent narration by Petrea Burchard.
I higly recommend this book to everyone.
I received this in exchange for a fair and unbiased review

Nothing to far with this series

I really enjoyed this book and think the whole series is great fun and a must listen. On the whole it is a stand alone book apart from the situation of the missing aunty which brought Verity to Leafy Hollow in the first place but if you like a fun cozy mystery then why not listen to them all. I really like the characters and the hilarious mishaps they find themselves in. The mystery was good with plenty of suspects and twists to keep you listening until the end. Just a fun mystery with a budding romance, secret spy stuff, a best friend that can cook and plays sidekick on the adventures, hunky firemen, an over protective cop, oh and pets. This book has it all and is sure not to disappoint.
Leafy Hollow isn't so sleep when a black widow is released from jail and moves back to her home town. Protesters soon start causing problems in the high street but it is when the body of one of the residents is found at the bottom of the cliff that the problems really start. Was her fall an accident? Suicide? Or was she pushed? Only husbands should fear the black widow, right? These are all questions Verity and the whole town is asking themselves. It soon becomes apparent that no one knows the dead lady as well as they thought and when the books don't add up suspicions turn to the mother of Verity's best friend. Fearing the police are about to make a big mistake Verity and her friends start to investigate. Then another body is found and things really heat up. Can Verity and her friends find a connection between the two deaths and find out who the really killer is or will this investigation end in a bang.
I really like the narrator and think she does a really good job giving each character there own voice, which brings the story to life.

A branch too far

I like the story, although, I wish Verity’s character put up a bit more fight in asserting herself. My only complaint was accents, can’t remember if it’s in this book or next but the Jamaican nurse’s accent was the worse I’ve ever heard. Please if you can’t get it right then don’t attempt it. It’s insulting to hear it done so badly, this is from someone who knows what a proper Jamaican accent sounds like. Looking forward to the next two books.
