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!
