The first in a new mystery series, SNOW WAY OUT by Christine Husom is everything I love in a cozy mystery. The characters are a close group that looks out for each other even in the darkest of hours. Being the first in the Snow Globe Shop Mystery I would say it is off to a magnificent start. Christine Husom's unique storyline using characters that own a snow globe shop and joint coffee shop is one that is different than most I have read and it works.

Camryn Brooks owns a snow globe shop that is jointed with her close friend, Pinky's coffee shop. With Camryn's knack of being the center of attention from the past, nothing changes when she comes back to her hometown to start her life new. Running her shop and sharing her love for snow globes she and her friends host a snow globe making class one evening. Before the night is through, she finds a globe with an interesting scene left behind from the class. As she travels home, she spots the same scene in the park, which turns out to be a murder scene that she stumbled upon. With her discovery this has put Camryn in the limelight again and everyone wants the scoop on what happened. Everyone has a theory, however, Camryn does a little investigation herself against the chief of police and her friend's advice.

With such fun characters that even have you laughing at times it is easy to keep up with and not get confused. I love mysteries with strong characters and plot. Christine Husom will be one author that I will continue to read. I enjoyed this mystery so much that I cannot wait until the next one.

SNOW WAY OUT by Christine Husom is an absolute delightful story to cozy up on the couch to!

SUMMARY

Curio shop manager Camryn Brooks thought she’d seen every kind of snow globe—until she saw one depicting a crime scene…

Ever since she was a child, Cami has loved the sparkling beauty of snow globes, and now, she sells them. In fact, they’re so popular, Cami and her friend—coffee shop owner Alice “Pinky” Nelson—are hosting a snow globe making class.

After the flurry of activity has ended and everyone has gone off with their own handmade snow globes, Cami spots a new globe left behind on a shelf, featuring an odd tableau —a man sleeping on a park bench.

On her way home, she drifts through the town park and is shaken to come upon the scene from the globe—a man sitting on a bench. But he isn’t sleeping—he has a knife in his back. When the police arrive, it’s clear they consider Cami a little flaky and possibly a suspect. After her friends also come under suspicion, Cami starts plowing through clues to find the cold-blooded backstabber—before someone else gets iced…
