Verity Hawkes’ new life as Leafy Hollow’s accidental landscaper would be almost tranquil… if only her missing aunt would turn up. After receiving a mysterious message, Verity decides to step up the search.

The villagers are friendly enough—until an outsider casts doubt on their profitable tale of long-lost treasure. When his corpse becomes the unintended highlight of a village event, suspicion lands on Verity’s newly found friends.

Verity wants nothing more than to disappear into her former shut-in ways. But her new life is on the line. To clear her friends of murder, she enlists the aid of a feral-cat fancier, a hard-of-hearing vicar, and a hunky local lawman. Can they help her unearth a killer?

Digging Up Trouble is the second 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 series.
