About this ebook

Murder. It’s a perennial problem.

Verity Hawkes is a shut-in. After two years bunkered in her apartment, the only thing that gets her out is the disappearance of her beloved but eccentric aunt. As she takes over her aunt’s landscaping shop, she’ll need to go from hoarder to horticulturist in a hurry…

Her new home of Leafy Hollow is quaint, except for her most obnoxious client. When a series of freak accidents kills the customer, all signs point to Verity as the killer.

The hunt for answers is on, and Verity must question a tipsy carpenter, a bacon-peddling vegan baker, and her dreamy landscaping competitor to keep her new life afloat. Failure to find the truth could put her back in a confined space for much more than two years…

From Garden to Grave is the first book in a series of delightfully funny cozy mysteries. If you like lovably quirky characters, deceptively idyllic Canadian villages, and twists you won’t see coming, then you’ll love Rickie Blair’s Leafy Hollow Mysteries.

The story had a natural, gradual progression just as would be in real life (no instant solutions here). It's populated with a variety of interesting characters and filled with intriguing situations. I'm eager to read the rest of the books in the series!

Liked it a lot. Interesting. In the beginning seems like a pity party for the heroine but picks up pace soon after. The dual romantic tracks between heroine and her competition and the local cop could have been explored more. However, a great read.

This was a great read, pacy and engaging from the start. The characters are thoughtfully presented and the plot has enough clever twists to keep you turning the pages. Perfect for holidays. The author describes Leafy Hollow as a cozy series and I agree
