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 adviser, 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.
