Muddy Waters is the fourth installment in the Leafy Hollow cozy mystery series. Verity Hawkes is a young widow who moves to Leafy Hollow when she inherits her aunt’s old Victorian home and landscaping business upon her aunt’s disappearance and presumed death.
In this installment, Verity is beginning to settle into Sleepy Hollow, make friends and has a burgeoning relationship with the local detective. As usual, trouble finds Verity when she is called upon to deliver a ransom for a kidnapped local citizen. As usual, nothing goes the way it should and chaos ensues. Mixed into the mess is the mysterious agency and Control that her grandmother works for, rogue agents, conspiracies and much more.
I totally enjoy this series. Set in a small Canadian town, it is a quaint, cozy listen with enough fun and action to keep me interested. A few wacky characters and a budding romance contribute to the fun.
The narrator, Petrea Burchard, is easy to listen to, does an excellent job voicing the characters and keeps things interesting.
I already have the next book in the series in my que to listen to!!
