By: Pepper Frost

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Somebody's messing with the wrong little old lady!

Bea Sickles—aka beloved author Betty Snickerdoodle—keeps her true identity hidden for a reason. The writer behind the wholesome, heartwarming Treacle Town holiday books may be a little old lady, but she's not sweet, not weak, and not even a little meek!

She's a wise-cracking ex-poker pro who loves nothing more than being underestimated. So when a bumbling crook decides to get rich quick by stealing an unpublished Betty Snickerdoodle manuscript, Bea won’t be satisfied with just stopping him—oh, no! The bad guy needs to be taught a lesson — and Bea's just the person to do it.

So the chase begins, with Bea nudged out of her quiet life in the wine country and on the hunt to retrieve her manuscript. She’s got a plan to make the thief pay, but if her secret identity is revealed in the process, that plan just might blow up in her face! Luckily, she's got a friend on her side: Angela Garcia, the clever and ambitious young marketer who helped make Betty Snickerdoodle a household name.

The crook will stop at nothing to turn the stolen book into quick cash. Can Bea stop him—and save her reputation—before it’s too late?

The Return of Betty Snickerdoodle is a hilarious, feel-good romp full of hijinks and heart. If you're a fan of mysteries with eccentric characters, endearing friendships, and plenty of laughs, this cozy caper is sure to sleigh you! Join Bea and her quirky friends as they hatch a plan to right what's wrong--all the while proving you're never, ever too old for adventure.
