Publisher's summary

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.”
—Criminal Element

adorable

this story qas super adorable. I will have to look for the rest in the series.
the characters were so well written.
just such a cute spin in a whodunit mystery. fresh and different. and the story line was good too. it was not easy to figure it out, like in some other mystery books, where after the second chapter you know who did it. i was guessing for way longer this time.
thank uou so much for this story.

another A+ performance by Cassandra Campbell

What a fun story! This woodland Mayberry suffers a series of tragedies with a host of characters (suspects). A sweet cozy mystery narrated by the amazing Cassandra Campbell on Audible.

A cute suspenseful story

I really enjoyed this. the first chapter was hard to get into because I had to figure out who was who. once I figured that out I really enjoyed the story. it's a cozy read and perfect for fall.

Cute, Cozy Mystery. Love Me Some "Old Lady" Books.

Welcome to Shady Hollow: a quaint little town of anthropomorphic creatures, where bad stuff happens so rarely- the residents don't even have locks on their doors! Life's grand until one day one of the townsfolk turns up dead. Whaaaaat? Cute, cozy mystery. A delightfully enchanting fall read.

Murder I Narnia

I thought this was so cosy and fun.
Kept imagining it as a murder mystery, but in Narnia, because of the animals, I think it made it even better.
If you love the Narnia books and love cosy mysteries, this is the book for you.
