A fatal fall. A conniving convict. A new mystery takes root...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 series of witty 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 Mysteries.
