The first book in the Shady Hollow series, in which we are introduced to the village of Shady Hollow, a place where woodland creatures live together in harmony - until a curmudgeonly toad turns up dead and the local reporter has to solve the case.

Reporter Vera Vixen is a relative newcomer to Shady Hollow. The fox has a nose for news, so when she catches wind that the death might be a murder, she resolves to get to the bottom of the case, no matter where it leads. As she stirs up still waters, the fox exposes more than one mystery, and discovers that additional lives are in jeopardy.

Vera finds more to this town than she ever suspected. It seems someone in the Hollow will do anything to keep her from solving the murder, and soon it will take all of Vera’s cunning and quickness to crack the case.

Critic reviews

“Watership Down meets Mickey Spillane. A mystery of rare and sinister charm.”
—Alan Bradley, New York Times bestselling author of the Flavia de Luce series

“This captivating tale offers sunshine and murder in perfect proportion to keep readers entertained and engrossed in deceptively placid Shady Hollow.”
—Shelf Awareness

“An absolutely delightful cozy read. . . . An remarkable empathy is also on display in these pages, putting this book firmly in the category of heartwarming reads despite the murders it chronicles.”

The skill it takes to write a story like this is much greater than is first apparent. It would be very tempting to moralize, for example. But the writer deftly anthropomorphizes her characters without overthinking it. Very unique premise, written and performed well.

I’m obsessed with this series. It reminds me of Peter Rabbit meets Murder She Wrote. Such a cute cozy mystery. I love Vera Vixen and her tenacious nature. The little town the story is set in is also super cute and cozy. The narrator does a wonderful job bringing the different characters to life.
