Though a total perfectionist in more ways than one, there’s one aspect of Evanee’s life that is far from perfect.
She’s yet to find her prince.
When a chance encounter with the local organic pumpkin farmer leaves her steaming mad, Evanee finds herself in need of a little retail therapy. While visiting a flea market in the next town over, she happens upon a mysterious cat guarding a large, ornate snow globe. Transfixed by the girl inside and the unique renaissance festival gown she’s sewing, Evanee makes the deal of a lifetime.
Solve the thirty-five-year-old unsolved mystery in exchange for finding her prince.
But when she’s hit with roadblocks along the way, Evanee is forced to accept help from an unlikely source. What they discover will not only lead them in circles, but it will also leave Evanee face to face with a killer. Suspenseful, romantic, and sweet, not to mention ripe with the spectacular colors of Vermont in the fall, Snow Way Out will challenge readers to solve the mystery before time runs out!
This is the second book in the Mystic Snow Globe Mystery series. Books do not need to be read in order.
A good old fashioned romance wrapped up in a cozy.
A great plot that didn't make it hard to guess the culprit but that will warm the cockles of your heart if you are a romantic at heart. She is prissy, prim and precise. He is handsome and a farmer through and through. Their first meeting ended with her thinking he was uncouth and him thinking that she was a pain in the neck. However when she gets a cat and a snow globe at the local flea market, circumstances lead them to work together. For the globe holds the twin sister to the cat and the two girls have been cursed to solve mysteries surrounding the dress they offer to whoever ends up with the globe. As well as a wish! The dress belonged to his mother and she never had a chance to wear it before she died in a fire. A fire that most think was deliberate! The more investigating they do the more secrets they unravel and the closer they get. Can they solve the crime? What will it mean for them? Great lively dialogue and characters that come to life as you read the book.
Bespelled sisters Whitley and Esmerelda have tricked someone else into helping to release them from their curse! Evanee seems like a neurotic mess: she arbitrarily picks a spot on a map to relocate to that has none of what she's looking for; she has a tomcat she dresses in tutus and tiaras and refuses to acknowledge as a male; and she has a childish obsession with fairytale perfection. In this enchanting and well-imagined tale a mystic snow globe and a medieval gown are instrumental in bringing closure for the innocent, justice to the guilty, and maturity and her heart's desire to Evanee. This is a first-rate mystery with a bit of romance and magic!
I have read the first book and now this second one and am hoping a third one follows soon. These are perfect for a light read with plenty of romance , twisting mysteries and delightful animal antics. This author paints a very pretty picture of the books characters and settings. I got a bit chilly when the snow fell and craved some hot chocolate.
Having a conflict with the local farmer is no way to keep on his good side, but that was before she found out it was his mother who's dress she had. Now they need to work together to find the murderer. With many people hiding their truths, twists and turns abound. Good read without cliffhanger ending.
Cheers for M.Z. Andrews new book Snow Way Out: A Mystic Snow Globe Romantic Mystery. I love having a New story with New characters that include old favorites! Can't wait for book three.
The second in a stand alone series is a great as the first! A mystical snow globe (and a cat) bring Ev a mystery to solve and a chance for her to meet her Prince Charmimg. Loved it!
Can't wait for the next book in this series. So many different types of relationships - between sisters, friends, family, love interests and even between animals.
I loved the book. Great story line and loved all the characters. Really didn’t know who did it till the last couple of chapters. I think this may be one of my newest favorite series!!!! Happy Reading :)
The snow globe mystery books are a stand alone reads. Each book has different characters except Whitney and Es. They are stuck in a mystical snow globe until all the mystery of the dresses in the wardrobe closer are solved. Very good story
